Now beautifully mature, the 2001 La Reine des Bois exudes refinement and depth. A rich mix of stewed plums, black cherries, and dried figs is underscored by tobacco, leather, and forest floor nuances. Silky tannins and bright acidity keep the wine fresh, while savoury spice and truffle notes add complexity. Fully evolved, this vintage is a classic, offering a graceful and deeply satisfying drinking experience.
96 Robert Parker
Still close to its peak, this domaine-sourced bottle of the prodigious 2001 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee de la Reine des Bois showed some hints of dead leaves and decay, but it balanced those with still-fresh notes of raspberries and cherries. Medium to full-bodied, silky and long, it should probably be consumed over the next few years. - Joe Czerwinski
94 Vinous
Saturated medium ruby. Superripe aromas of cassis, blackberry, violet and roasted nuts; if some past vintages of this wine have been Burgundian in style, this is classic roasted Chateauneuf du Pape, but with more black than red fruits. Large-scaled, thick and explosive in the mouth, with lush flavors of black fruits, creme de framboise and minerals and firm underlying structure. Wonderfully sweet, dense and long on the aftertaste, with big but fine tannins. Stephen Tanzer1st January 2004
