Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Clos des Papes--Vintage 2001
Rhône, Domaine-bottled: Avril
Tasting note: Paul Avril feels that purchasers of the 2001 Châteauneuf du Pape should wait ten years before drinking it. A blend of 65 Grenache, 20 Mourvedre, 10 Syrah, and 5 Counoise, all aged in large wood foudres prior to being bottled without filtration, was produced from low yields of 27 hectoliters per hectare. A deep ruby/purple colour is accompanied by a sweet bouquet of figs, raspberries, new saddle leather, autumnal forest floor, and resiny notes. Full-bodied with beautiful purity as well as a strikingly rich mouthfeel, this seriously endowed Châteauneuf admirably conceals its 14.5 alcohol. A structured finish and impressive extract levels suggest considerable longevity. This firmly tannic, intensely concentrated 2001 boasts great aromatic and palate presence, but it remains young and unevolved. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2020+.
