Complex, vibrant nose melds raspberry, blood orange, duck confit, tree bark and toasted hazelnut. Dense, sappy and penetrating, with superb inner-mouth energy. Very spicy, sharply delineated wine with an almost Burgundian texture. Finishes with building, sweet flavors of raspberry, cherry and strawberry, a saline suggestion of extract, and terrific persistence. This wine clearly benefitted from the high quality of mourvedre in 2001. \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\"\u003e93 points \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaul Avril feels that purchasers of the 2001 Chateauneuf 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 color 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 Chateauneuf 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+. \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\"\u003eParker 95\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vins Rare","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46037271970031,"sku":"1512","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/7140\/9135\/files\/closdespapes_cdp2016-LBL_1845ff3b-f439-40c4-bfa1-b0ed398dc179.png?v=1772598393","url":"https:\/\/vinsrare.com\/products\/2001-clos-des-papes-chateauneuf","provider":"Vins Rare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
