The wine is amazing expressive now
detailed and impressively scaled broad-shouldered flavors that possess excellent power and plenty of underlying tension on the focused
spicy wine without the depth of the splendid 2001
It will keep for another decade or more
expertly balanced by a core of zesty acidity
Patrick Lesec, Chateauneuf Du Pape Marquis Tonneaux Brut Zero The wine is amazing expressiveDense and structured, the 2001 Patrick Lesec Chteauneuf du Pape Marquis Tonneaux is a blend of 70% Grenache and 30% Mourvdre. Showing deep black cherry and mineral laced dark fruits intermixed with licorice, wild herbs, pepper, the wine is medium to full bodied with a firm, structured core, beautifully ripe fruit, good acidity, and a long, grippy, focused finish. While still in need of another 2 to 4 years for prime drinking, I love the structure and
