Roger Sabon Chateauneuf-du-Pape Cuvee Le Secret des Sabon 2001 75CL 8-7Robert Parker A magical elixir, the 2001 Chateauneuf du Pape Le Secret des Sabon matches the other worldly 1998 in its seamlessness, extraordinary richness, unctuous texture, and incredible perfume. Its inky ruby purple color is accompanied by gorgeous aromas of roasted herbs, cassis, blackberries, graphite, wood smoke, and an assortment of red as well as black fruits. Amazingly full bodied, with a viscous texture, beautifully integrated acidity,

it reveals a deep purple color

I næsen mødes man af et komplekst aromatisk udtryk med noter af kandiseret abrikos

One of the first properties to estate bottle their wines (over 80 years ago)

the final blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon and 14% Merlot is a full-bodied wine with plenty of coffee

som harmonerer med noter af frisk citrus og en levende syre

giver Pichon Comtesse sin ære til stjernedruesorten i Médoc

Gæringen foregår på brugte Bordeaux-fade og æggeformede foudre fra Taransaud

crème brûlée

Smagen er præcis så fyldig

hvor klima og jordforhold er tæt på ideelle til netop Pinot Noir

although I suspect that the 2010 is even better and more crystalline

før hele oplevelsen munder ud i en lang og kompleks finish
