The noble, elegant, complex 2001 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee des Felix boasts a deeply pigmented ruby/purple color as well as a classy perfume of graphite, crushed stones, blueberries, acacia flowers, and plums. The outstanding aromas are followed by a wine with vigorous richness, excellent elegance, tremendous precision, and significant flavor authority allied with both power and finesse. This beauty is one of the appellation’s most distinctive offerings... Robert Parker

Spicy cedar leather and barnyard with nice acid and dried fruit. A bit bretty but well within tolerance.

Cool vintage Chateauneuf with a bit of age, from one of the handful of good houses. I haven't had wine in a week and am thrilled to break the fast with this guy.

Fascinating vegetal and herbal notes, old leather, talc, once the brett blew off it had a very perfumey note, crushed red petals and smashed sun blistered red/black berries. I landed in the right regioN!

17.5+. Very fine. Wonderful mature nose, all garrigue etc, no fruit. But plenty of fruit on palate. V long.

Un vin sudiste, charmeur, avec des notes de garrigue, de figue, de prune, mais il y a un côté assez prononcé d’écurie ou d’etable qui m’empêche de pleinement l’apprécier. Laurence l’a préféré à moi

Holy crap, this is funky! Savory flavors of olives, grilled meat juice, wet earth, herbs and a core of cherries and light blue berries with some mint .. mild to moderate tannins persist!
