Châteauneuf-du Pape, Les Cailloux Cuvée Centenaire--Vintage 2001
Rhône, Brunel
"The 1998 Cuvée Centenaire is an awesome Châteauneuf du Pape. Made from extremely old vines, this is the essence of both Châteauneuf du Pape and the Grenache grape. The wine boasts a deep ruby/purple color as well as an extraordinary bouquet of melted, jammy black cherry, raspberry, and currant fruit mixed with pepper and spice box. In the mouth, it is rich, full-bodied, and unctuously-textured, with extraordinary purity, and laser-like definition for a wine of such massive concentration and depth. The finish lasts for nearly a minute. This spectacular, youthful, amazingly accessible offering is a tour de force in winemaking, and a tribute to just how great Châteauneuf du Pape can be. Anticipated maturity: now-2025." Robert Parker, eRobertParker only (January 2003)
