The 2000 Chateauneuf du Pape possesses a deep plum/ruby/purple color in addition to aromas of sausage meat, pepper, sweet and sour cherries, earth, and spice box. The aromatic smorgasbord is followed by a medium-bodied, ripe, silky textured wine with good fruit and a classic Provencal personality. It is best drunk over the next 10-12 years.
