Chateauneuf du Pape 2001 (75 CL)

Wine Advocate

The 2001 Chateauneuf du Pape is a medium to full-bodied, elegant offering exhibiting a plum/ruby color as well as a sweet nose of kirsch liqueur, figs, spice box, pepper, and soy. With outstanding purity, balance, and lushness, it should be consumed over the next decade. By the way, I rated it in the low eighties, but Perrin’s 2002 Chateauneuf du Pape was one of the better 2002s I tasted from this appellation. (RP, 2/2004)
