Community Tasting Note

  May 20, 2013 - A wine with a light concentration, this 2001 is multidimensional and strongly evolved. However, every step of it has kept a great youthfulness, being fresh and lively. On the pallet, this gets very complex although this was a light to medium bodied wine. Here, thence, don’t look into the packed, concentrated, fruit basket you would have in most modern Chateauneuf-du-Papes. Instead, you get a unique Chateauneuf displaying some smashed dark berries under a well balanced structure; over which is a grandiose bouquet on secondary notes of humus, pine, incense, liquorice, dried garrigue and dried plum. A great showing, it shows the great potential of the wines from Clos Mt Olivet. 92 points
