The dense ruby/purple-colored 2001 Cotes du Rhone Cuvee les Trois Soeurs (a blend of 65% Grenache, 25% Syrah, and 10% Mourvedre from 50-year old vines) possesses a big, highly stuffed, fleshy mouthfeel displaying notes of black cherries intermixed with currants, plums, pepper, and spice box. With supple tannin as well as a lush, up-front, in-your-face style, it will provide pleasure over the next 2-3 years. It is an outstanding value.
