DOMAINE DE LA MORDORÉE CHÂTEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE CUVÉE LA REIN DES BOIS, 2001 (8)
Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
More youthful and backwards, the 2001 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee de La Reine des Bois has been incredibly consistent for me and always comes in near the top of the scale. Black raspberry, blackberry, wood smoke, licorice, crushed rock-like minerality and smoked beef are just some of the nuances here, and it hits the palate with serious levels of fruit, thrilling structure and blockbuster length. It still needs another handful of years to hit full maturity, but its off-the-hook good today (assuming you’re not completely against tannin). 100 WA
Estimate $1,800-$2,100
