The dark ruby/purple-colored 2001 Chateauneuf du Pape displays a singular perfume of ground pepper, spearmint, lavender, spice box, and copious quantities of black currant and cherry fruit. There is even a hint of plums in this medium to full-bodied, Provencal-styled 2001. With refreshing acidity, terrific delineation, and a lively, lusty, heady personality, it will drink well for 12+ years.
