Paul Avril , Clos des Papes, Chateauneuf Du Pape 2000

95 / 100 Robert Parker
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 and I'd enjoy bottles over the coming 4-5 years.

87 / 100 Wine Spectator
Very pretty, almost delicate, of medium body and medium concentration. The soft and supple tannins are sleek and easy to appreciate. It'll be hard to resist enjoying it on release, with its burst of red and black fruit on the succulent finish. Drink now through 2006. 8,915 cases made.

17.5 / 20 Jancis Robinson
65% Grenache, 20% Mourvèdre, 15% Syrah, Counoise, Vaccarèse and Muscardin. Milk chocolate, incredible rose-petal perfume, chewy texture but loads of truffle scent and rich, succulent fruit. Quite light in body, but full of substance and length. Still has plenty to give.
