Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Réservée Pégau 2003 is a powerful red wine from the Southern Rhône. This Grenache-dominant blend reflects the warmth of the year with its opulent profile of roasted plums, liquorice and spice. Despite the solar conditions of 2003, the estate’s traditional winemaking has maintained a sense of balance and structural depth. It offers a full-bodied palate with ripe, velvety tannins and a long, warming finish. Now fully mature, the wine displays beautiful tertiary notes of dried earth and garrigue.

Starting with the 2003 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Reserve, this wine showed spectacularly on release, closed down for a few years, and has now emerged, at close to full maturity, and is straight-up fabulous. Out of the entire tasting, it remained my favorite. Giving up gorgeous blackberry, currants, garrigue, pepper and beef blood, it hits the palate with a massive, full-bodied texture that carries layers of sweet fruit, awesome concentration and blockbuster length. Tasting like the essence of both this estate and the terroir, it’s an incredible wine that I’m happy to taste/drink anytime. It will continue to evolve gracefully, but I see no reason to delay gratification. - Jeb Dunnuck
