Tasting notes
A gorgeous expression of old vine Grenache that is at the top of the vintage, the 2003 Mas de Boislauzon Cuvee du Quet is knockout stuff that is incredibly youthful and borderline primary. Offering up classic Chateauneuf du Pape aromas and flavors of black raspberries, kirsch, licorice, roasted garrigue, seaweed and spiced meats, it flows onto the palate with a full-bodied, seamless and beautifully pure texture that has no hard edges, awesome purity and a focused, clean finish. Chewy, rich and voluptuous, yet also pure, precise and long, this top-notch effort will continue to improve for another year or three and shine for a decade or more after that.

Dark red. Exotic, high-pitched scents of tangy red berries, blood orange, cherry jam and espresso. Quite floral in the mouth, with excellent focus to its fresh red berry flavors. I'd never have picked this blind for an '03. Finishes spicy, focused and long, with a nervy note of rhubarb. Put this one away for a while.
