The 2003 VDP d’Orange has turned out even better than I suggested last year. The wine has an exotic note of flowers intermixed with licorice, black cherry, and cassis. It is full-bodied and powerful, yet probably best drunk during its first 3-4 years of life. P.S. I asked Daumen to indicate the yields of his vintages since 1998. Interestingly, he exceeded 30 hectoliters per hectare in 1998 and 1999, fell below that in 2000, and then his two smallest crops were 28 hectoliters per hectare in 2003 and 25 hectoliters per hectare in 2004. Obviously, this is for the entire estate and not just his Chateauneuf du Pape holdings, which are much smaller.Importer: A Christopher Cannan Selection, various American importers including Michael Skurnik, Syosset, NY; tel.
