Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Domaine de Marcoux, Vieilles Vignes--Vintage 2001
Rhône, Domaine-bottled: Armenier
In original wooden cases
Tasting Note: The 2001 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes may not attain the perfection of the 1998, or the pure exuberance and voluptuousness of the 2000, but it is a brilliant effort. A wine of nobility as well as purity, this cuvée, made primarily from 50-100 year old Grenache vines, exhibits a dark plum/purple color as well as a sumptuous bouquet of Provencal herbs, roasted meats, crème de cassis, blackberries, and violets. Floral and full-bodied with a seamlessness that only old vines can provide, it possesses rich, concentrated, pure fruit, low acidity, and admirable delineation (because of its tannic structure). Give it 2-3 years of cellaring, and drink it over the following 15-18 years. 96 Points; Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 151 (Feb 2004).
