Alain Jaume Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2001

Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhone, Rhone Valley, FranceRich spicy, white pepper nose flecked with cardamom, floral, licorice, black raspberry and gamey aromas. Ripe, round, warm and smooth with big black raspberry kirsch, plum, mineral, orange spice, peppery, cherry flavours. Nice flavours and great nose but very hot (alcoholic) on the finish. Lots of stuffing here. Best served on a cool or cold damp day. Good value.Tasted: 28 April 2005Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
