Pegau, Chateauneuf du Pape 2001

Evolved red.

Vinturi - crazy, old-school, CdP nose - spicy ketchup, garrigue, oak spice (but there isn't any), wilted herbs, wood smoke ...
All of this in a lifted, seamless, killer package.

Huge impact in the mouth, just all over the place, with some serious chew as a tether to earth. Shows a bit of alcohol. But who cares. This delivers (some of) the goods now, even though it still needs time in the bottle. Stem chew on and on. You have to love this kind of CdP. Loaded, interesting, butt-naked.

$50 on release. Mostly Grenache.
