Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Domaine Charvin--Vintage 2000
Rhône. Domaine-bottled: G. Charvin
Tasting note: The glories at this estate are unquestionably their Châteauneuf du Papes. Fashioned from a blend of 82 Grenache, and the rest Syrah, Mourvedre, and a dollop of Vacarese, the 2000 Châteauneuf du Pape initially appears closed, but with 30 minutes of airing, it explodes from the glass. A deep ruby/purple colour is accompanied by a sweet nose of crème de cassis, kirsch liqueur, liquorice, pepper, and underbrush. Voluptuously-textured and exceptionally long (the finish lasts 45+ seconds), with silky tannin, low acidity, and full body, it is less tannic and delineated than the 2001, but it offers a gorgeous, seductive mouthful of old vine Châteauneuf du Pape. It will age effortlessly for 12-15 years. Readers who believe Châteauneuf du Pape can not be a wine of finesse and elegance should taste Charvin! Robert Parker, Wine Advocate No. 145, February 2003.
