Vieilles Vignes 2001

Pure kirsch, garrigue and black raspberries pop as soon as the cork leaves the bottle. Pure silky cherries coat your palate, leaving you with fresh, pure red fruits, herbs and an interesting, discreet, buttery, chocolate note in the long, elegant finish. This is drinking great today. If you have a bottle, pop a cork!" - 97/100, Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider

Wine Advocate - Robert Parker
Tasted at the domaine out of magnum, the 2001 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes is just a bit past its peak to my palate, but it still remains a delicious wine. Knockout, complex aromas of black truffles, leather and black cherries emerge from the glass, while the wine remains full-bodied, supple and silky on the palate, with a tremendously long but slightly astringent finish.
