Patrick Lesec, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Galets Blonds 2003
Description
95 points Wine Advocate
The brilliant 2003 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Galets Blonds is the star of these Chateauneufs. A blend of 92% Grenache and 8% Syrah was aged in foudre, tank, and small oak barrels (about 20%). Its dark ruby/plum/purple-tinged color is followed by a big, sweet nose of kirsch liqueur, herbes de Provence, and an oil of pepper-like character. Concentrated and full-bodied, with an old vine essence to its personality, this super Chateauneuf du Pape tips the scales at 16.5% alcohol. This is undeniably one of the stars of this irregular vintage. It should drink well for 12-15+ years. (RP) (2/2006)
