The opaque ruby/purple-colored 2000 Chateauneuf du Pape exhibits superb chocolate, espresso, black cherry, and currant aromas with a hint of oak in the background. It is a thick, juicy offering with medium to full body, low acidity, and loads of glycerin. It is performing better from bottle than it did last year from the cellars. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2015.
