Domaine du Vieux Lazaret Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2000
Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhone, Rhone Valley, FranceSpicy, gamy, smoky, leathery, black cherry and plum aromas with a hint of garrigue. Round and soft with good concentration and soft, forward tannins. Fine cherry, plum jam fruit intensity with pepper, spice and anise in the finish. A bit of tannin and acidity in the finish should help it age five to seven years but has good ripeness and structure. Good value for near term drinking.Tasted: 01 October 2002Tasted by: Stuart TobePrices:BC | $31.95 | 750ml | Specialty |
