The 2001 Le Vieux Donjon Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a blend of 75% Grenache, 10% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre, and 5% Cinsault, aged for 18 months in old foudres. As a mature Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the wine has evolved and developed a complex flavour profile. Expect notes of ripe dark fruits, spice, earth, and hints of garrigue.

Vinous
Red-ruby. Flamboyant, wild Chateauneuf du Pape aromas of raspberry, pepper, leather, Cuban cigar tobacco, fruitcake, game and truffle. Explosive, layered and deep, with captivating flavors of game, leather, melting chocolate cake, leather, incense and black pepper. Wonderfully suave and silky but with terrific verve and grip. Finishes with fine, palate-coating tannins and sneaky length. If someone sticks a glass of this in your face and you don't say Chateauneuf du Pape, you should give up wine drinking. Stephen Tanzer1st January 2004
