2001 Patrick Lesec Châteauneuf-du-Pape Marquis Tonneaux (France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape)


My last bottle and this wine is still going strong. Traditional style CdP that shows typical kirsch, garrigue, earth, licorice and some truffle. 70% Grenache and 30% Mourvedre. The Mourvedre really adds the noticeable truffle flavors. Still pretty chewy, but the tannins are fully resolved. Really pretty CdP that can be held for a few more years, although I'd say that it is definitely drinking at peak for me.
