($29; a blend of 75% grenache, 10% mourvedre, 10% cinsault and 5% syrah) Bright, medium-deep red. Raspberry, smoke and truffle on the nose. Supple and expressive; not hugely fleshy or concentrated but offers enticing fruit, harmonious acidity and a complicating mineral component. Tannins are quite fine.

The 2000 Chateauneuf du Pape (a blend of 75% Grenache, 10% Mourvedre, 10% Cinsault, and 5% Syrah) was aged in foudre for 15-18 months, and totally destemmed. It offers a deep ruby/purple color in addition to aromas of black currants, cherries, dried Provencal herbs, and licorice. Layered, sweet, accessible, and plump, this succulent effort was produced from the estate's younger vines (25-30 years).

Complex, but not very deep or hard to understand. Delicious, with leather, game, plum and black fruit. Medium- to full-bodied, with supple enough tannins to drink nicely on release. Should be a great match with Peking duck.
