Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Domaine de Pegau, Cuvée Réservée --Vintage 2000
Rhône, Domaine-bottled: Feraud
Tasting Note: The 2000 Châteauneuf-du Pape-Cuvée Reservée may be one of the few 2000s that is better than its 1998 counterpart. A deep ruby/purple color is accompanied by sweet aromas of crème de cassis, kirsch liqueur, cedar, licorice, and pepper. It smells like an open-air Provencal market. Sweet, fat, opulent, and voluptuous, with fabulous fruit concentration, sweet tannin, and a long, 45+ second finish, this powerful, deep, seamless 2000 is impeccably well-balanced. A tour de force in traditional Châteauneuf-du-Pape, it is accessible now, but should age easily for 15-20 years. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 145 (Feb 2003)
