Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
Decanted for six hours. This is fabulous. Highly extracted but very well balanced. A great wine from the great 2001 vintage .

Sep 6th, 2015Decanted for an hour at home before reopening at Mon Ami Gabi, Chicago. This is very rich and full bodied. Huge fruit and floral nose. If you like this style, you might rate it 100. It is so big that you wouldn't want to drink it all night. To me, I can never get enough of a truly great wine, so I would have to call this nearly great.

Took a surprisingly long time to open up. Nose was nonexistent initially, but palate was deep and complex. Began to open and become spectacular after 2 h, just as we finished it.

2001 Almost a port/sherry notes on the nose. Very ripe plum. Excellent quality.
