Cuvée Réservé Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend

Shroomtacular.

Not the best bottle of 2001...otherwise these can be glorious.

Great color showing some age. Wild nose of plum, herbs, brush and sweet fruit. Very round in the mouth. In a good drinking window right now.

Dark ruby, almost opaque. Liqueur-like nose with some funk... Dried brush, ripe small red berries, herbs de Provence, and black berry notes in the nose. Medium finish but beats you up a little with its power. Nobody would call this delicate or elegant.

Beautiful fruit through the mid-palate then the drying tannins come charging in.

Drinking great! Thanks L

Really lovely, Rich, spicy red fruit and great palate feel and long finish. A lovely wine very characteristic of this wonderful producer.

This more than makes up for last night's corked 1.5 of Vieux Télégraphe... Thanks Mr. Callaghan.

Typical Pegau brettiness, sour cherries, raspberry, blackberry liquer, smoke, violets, juicy red fruit flavors with a fresh licorice flavored midpalate, the finish is quite long filled with meaty flavors, chewy yet elegant tannins, and alot of black pepper.

A once beautiful wine, slightly faded at 20 years out. Still loads of ripe red fruit and elegance, but it was all high and mid notes with little bass and just a hint of pruning. Still made for a nice night.
