The Burgundian-styled 2000 Chateauneuf du Pape is drinking at point today. Possessing beautiful notes of forest floor, truffles, spice, garrigue and sweet cherry and kirsch like fruit, this beauty has notable freshness and purity, medium to full-bodied richness, fine tannin and a layered, integrated texture that keeps you coming back to the glass. There's no need to delay gratification here.. eRobertParker.com

Tawny purple color, with a great nose. Notes of plums, herbs, earth and pepper. Great fruit and overall impact in the mouth. In a great drinking window.

Tawny reddish color, translucent. Fruity nose, a little heat. Rich fruit in the mouth. Nice balance but the alcohol comes through in the finish.

At proper temp (just below room) and with 5-10m decant, this was incredible.

Popped, poured, and no regrets. This is a jam monster through and through. Thick aromatics of candied cherries and dried herbs. Flavors of preserved red/black fruits, smoked beef jerky, Worcestershire sauce, and nuts. Elegant acid and almost nonexistent tannins. Drink up!
