Domaine du Pegau Cuvee Reservee Chateauneuf du Pape 2000 750ml

<p><strong>WA 95</strong> "<span>The 2000 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Reservee may be one of the few 2000s that is better than its 1998 counterpart. A deep ruby/purple color is accompanied by sweet aromas of creme de cassis, kirsch liqueur, cedar, licorice, and pepper. It smells like an open-air Provencal market. Sweet, fat, opulent, and voluptuous, with fabulous fruit concentration, sweet tannin, and a long, 45+ second finish, this powerful, deep, seamless 2000 is impeccably well-balanced. This is one of the benchmarks for traditionally-made Chateauneuf du Pape. (RP)"</span><span>&nbsp;(2/2003)</span></p>
