2001 Domaine de Beaurenard (Paul Coulon et Fils) Châteauneuf-du-Pape Boisrenard
-
Licorice, smoke, fresh herbs, jammy kirsch, stone, smoke and black cherry liqueur aromas produce an inviting perfume. Deep in color, full bodied, rich and powerful, this fleshy wine ends with a black cherry, pepper and garrigue filled finish. This is still young, but I am not sure this is going to improve much.

The last bottle from my case was delicious. There was sweet, ripe, black and red fruits, earth and animal scents, lush textures and a long, earthy, peppery, black cherry finish.

This is a rich, full bodied, voluptuous, open Chateauneuf du Pape that is drinking great today. Pepper, smoke, black raspberry jam, spice and garrigue aromas are in full force. The wine ends with a long, delicious, ripe, sweet, dark berry finish. This was the penultimate bottle from the case and every bottle has been great.

Light red summer fruit and peppery spice notes, coupled with a medium bodied, elegant style make this a nice, fully mature Chateauneuf.

The color is raspberry with a rusty tint. The nose was simple with spices, herbs and red fruit. Really nice mouth entry and a short red fruit finish.
