Impressive, the opulent 2000 Chateauneuf du Pape Confidence Vigneronne is more fruit-driven, without the structure, power, and backwardness of the 2001. A dense ruby/purple color is followed by sweet aromas of creme de cassis, kirsch liqueur, spice box, pepper, and garrigue. This opulent, voluptuous effort possesses low acidity, loads of fruit and glycerin, and blockbuster finish. It should be at its best between 2006-2015. This up-and-coming Chateauneuf du Pape estate merits increasing attention from consumers.An Alain Corcia Selection, various American importers, including Charmer Industries, NY; tel.
