Le Vieux Donjon Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2000

Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhone, Rhone Valley, FranceSmoky, peppery, spicy gamy licorice aromas with a strong black cherry background. Rich, ripe, intense fruit with big black cherry, plum, licorice, game and roasted pepper flavours. Very elegant and round with ripe tannins in the finish. Drinkable now but will improve for five to eight years. Very balanced and suave, representative of the 2000 vintage.Tasted: 01 March 2003Tasted by: Stuart TobePrices:
