A new cuvee, the 2001 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee du Baron reveals sweetness as well as meat-like characteristics that translate into a broad palate impression. A dark plum/garnet color is followed by earthy, animal notes intermixed with plum liqueur, sweet cassis, and flowers. It is full-bodied, with blackberry fruit flavors, an unctuous texture, and a long, concentrated, fleshy finish. While the traditional cuvee is a blend of 80% Grenache, 16% Mourvedre, and 4% Syrah, the Cuvee du Baron undoubtedly contains much more Syrah. Drink this plump, succulent 2001 between 2005-2015.
