International Wine Cellar Author: Josh Raynolds Issue: Issue 124

($65) Medium red. Intense aromas of jammy raspberry and wild strawberry, fresh rose, candied violet and magnolia. A remarkably lush, creamy wine, with vibrant, expressive red berry and subtle garrigue flavors that expand all the way through the very long finish. A compelling wine that offers great purity and balance and very suave tannins. (Weygandt-Metzler Importing, Unionville, PA)

Wine Advocate Author: Robert Parker Issue: 163

Peppery and earthy, with notes of roasted herbes de Provence, sweet cherry jam, the seaweed wrapper used in sushi bars (nori) with a touch of fig, the soft, round, generously endowed, complex 2003 Chateauneuf du Pape shows a dark garnet color and plenty of glycerin, alcohol, and fruit. Drink it over the next 10-12 years.

Wine Spectator Author: James Molesworth

Terrific example of the vintage--this is loaded with the pepper, garrigue, grilled herb and briary tannins, all backed by powerful layers of dark currant, plum and blackberry fruit. Lingering hint of dried orange peel adds further dimension. 2,730 cases made.

Great stuff. The nose is tantalizing and the flavors are layered and nuanced.

Surprisingly bretty out of the gates, the horse-sweat and loamy notes become a bit more subdued in time, as the super-ripe ?03 fruit kicks into high gear as the wine opens up. Layered, opulent notes of sweet kirsch, cocoa, fig and game unfold in the mouth in a powerfully bilt, emerging personality. I didn'tfind the wine to be pruney or baked or suffering from any other similar affliction that the lesser '03s were marred by, and the balance of acid and tannin was on point. While a tad young, the concentration and length bode well for Charvin?s future.
