Châteauneuf-du Pape Reserve Sixtine--Vintage 2001
Rhône, Vatican
In two six-bottle original wooden cases
"The deep ruby/purple-colored 2001 Chateauneuf du Pape reveals Grenache's powerful side in its intense kirsch, licorice, peppery aromatics. An opulent attack is followed by a multilayered, full-bodied mid-palate along with considerable structure and headiness in the finish. This is a large-scaled, but impeccably well-balanced Chateauneuf to drink between 2005-2016. One of the appellation's young, dynamic revolutionaries, Jean-Marc Diffonty, has produced his finest Chateauneuf du Papes to date. Additionally, prices remain modest for what's in the bottle."
