Score 91/100 · Jeb Dunnuck, Sep 2011

Needing the most time to open up, the 2000 Clos de l'Oratoire des Papes Châteauneuf-du-Pape is still youthful, delivering a masculine, slightly unyielding profile with a dense, very traditional bouquet of herb, ground pepper, garrigue, smoked meats, and licorice. Medium to full-bodied and still showing plenty of fruit and texture, this textbook Châteauneuf-du-Pape is aging beautifully and should continue to hold for a number of years. If drinking now, I would open the bottle 4+ hours prior to when you plan on drinking.

Score 89/100 · Drink 2003-2015, Robert Parker, Feb 2003

A more elegant, less muscular version, the 2000 Chateauneuf du Pape tips the scales at 14% alcohol. It offers up evolved notes of cedar wood, sweet and sour cherries, plums, and Provencal herbs. This sexy, sensual, pure, velvety-textured, medium to full-bodied 2000 will drink well for 10-12 years. Importer: Cannon Wines Ltd., San Francisco, CA; tel. (415) 394-6454
