This bottle of 2001 Châteauneuf Du Pape Les Quartz was showing a more mature, evolved style than bottles from my cellar, yet it was still beautiful, with lots of kirsch and dark berry fruits, licorice, violets, and a touch of minerality on the nose. Pretty, medium to full-bodied and balanced on the palate, it’s a classy Châteauneuf du Pape in every sense that’s drinking at point today. I’d drink bottles over the coming 4-5 years, yet it will certainly have a gradual decline as well.
