this is seamless and contained from all angles

yet ethereal and even graceful

violet and sandalwood

leather and tobacco add shades of nuance throughout

Patrick Lesec, Chateauneuf Du Pape Marquis Tonneaux Vintage:2001 this is seamless and containedDense and structured, the 2001 Patrick Lesec Chteauneuf du Pape Marquis Tonneaux is a blend of 70% Grenache and 30% Mourvdre. 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
