2000 Domaine Charvin, Chateauneuf-du-Pape 1x750ml

Robert Parker 93

Also mature, yet still lively and fresh, the 2000 Chateauneuf du Pape is a beauty that gives up loads of pepper, earth, ground herbs and ripe Grenache-driven fruit to go with a medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated, balanced feel. It is a classic Chateauneuf du Pape that will continue to drink nicely for at least another handful of years from cool cellars, and have a gradual downward evolution beyond that.

Vinous 93

Full ruby-red. Expressive aromas of roasted blackberry, black raspberry and espresso. Lush and superripe, with compelling mid-palate fat and fullness. Fresh flavors of dark berries and dark chocolate. Finishes very ripe and long, with sweet, suave tannins. Offers a rare combination of stuffing and finesse. [Stephen Tanzer, 01/01/2003]
