Tasting Notes

WS92

This dark and brawny red has its back turned to us for now, though there's a pile of dark currant and blackberry fruit, bittersweet chocolate, bitter almond and mineral notes that ambitious folks will look forward to scaling after extended cellaring. A burly wine whose spiky minerality is not for the faint of heart. Best from 2006 through 2019. 250 cases made.

RP91

The elegant, deep ruby/purple-colored 2001 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee du Quet offers up beautiful aromas of kirsch liqueur, flowers, cherries, currants, and a resiny note. Full-bodied, firmly tannic, and closed, with excellent delineation, structure, and purity, it requires 2-4 years of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2016.
