Dense and structured, the 2001 Patrick Lesec Châteauneuf-du-Pape Marquis Tonneaux is a blend of 70% Grenache and 30% Mourvèdre. Showing deep black cherry and mineral-laced dark fruits intermixed with licorice, wild herbs, pepper, the wine is medium to full bodied with a firm, structured core, beautifully ripe fruit, good acidity, and a long, grippy, focused finish. While still in need of another 2 to 4 years for prime drinking, I love the structure and poise, as well as the density to the fruit. This should easily drink well for another decade.
