The long finish allows everything to hang beautifully

lilac and rose petal along with notes of dark currant

(the same blend as for the 2010 version)

focused and linear finish that ends a bit abruptly

menthol and liqueur-like dark berry fruit scents though here there are the additions of more earth and spice elements

Patrick Lesec, Chateauneuf Du Pape Marquis Tonneaux other_regions_australia The long finish allows everythingDense and structured, the 2001 Patrick Lesec Chteauneuf du Pape Marquis Tonneaux is a blend of 70% Grenache and 30% Mourvdre. Showing deep black cherry and mineral laced dark fruits intermixed with licorice, wild herbs, pepper, the wine is medium to full bodied with a firm, structured core, beautifully ripe fruit, good acidity, and a long, grippy, focused finish. While still in need of another 2 to 4 years for prime drinking, I love the structure and
