Mas de Boislauzon Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee du Quet 2006

"Dark red. Intensely floral, expansive bouquet of fresh strawberry and raspberry, lilac, rose and dusty minerals. Fresh red berry flavors display a strikingly exuberant personality, with slow-building tannins adding grip to the finish. Leaves a strong spicy impression and possesses outstanding persistence."
-International Wine Cellar 92-95

"The single-vineyard wine from a special parcel of old vines and a blend of 65% Grenache and 35% Mourvedre is the 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee du Quet. Opaque ruby/purple, this is a brilliant wine and one of the stars of the vintage. Full-bodied, with superb purity, loads of blackberry and kirsch notes intermix with smoke, creosote, incense, and truffle. Full, powerful, rich, with sweet tannin and good acidity, this should be a blockbuster and drink beautifully for at least two decades. Brilliant wines from the northernmost sector of Chateauneuf du Pape emerge from the Chaussy family..."
