2003 Domaine de la Mordoree Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee de la Reine des Bois - 98 pts - 750ml

Ethereal stuff that has everything, the 2003 Domaine de la Mordoree Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee de la Reine des Bois has classically-styled (especially when compared to the Plume du Peintre) aromas and flavors of black and red fruits, truffle, garrigue, saddle leather and pan drippings. Full-bodied and gorgeously concentrated on the palate, it remains perfectly balanced and fresh, with no apparent weight or heaviness, superb purity and a monster finish. Giving the ’01 a run for its money, it handedly surpassed the Plume du Peintre on this occasion. It’s a breathtaking drink now, yet still youthful and lively and should evolved gracefully for another decade or more.45-second finish. The wood is gorgeously integrated, as it usually is, the tannins still noticeable, but not astringent, and the wine majestic. RP
