Note di degustazione
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.

Deep red. High-pitched aromas of fresh raspberry, tobacco and sexy oak spices. Round, supple and spicy, with sweet red berry liqueur flavors brightened by cinnamon, clove and mace. The finish is firmed by solid tannins.
