Beaucastel, Chateauneuf Du Pape Size:12x750ml The 2001 Sorì San Lorenzo

The 2001 Sorì San Lorenzo is all about finesse and texture

forward style of the year

It has a fresh bouquet with honeysuckle and yellow flower aromas

which resulted in high skin-to-juice ratios

Beaucastel, Chateauneuf Du Pape Size:12x750ml The 2001 Sorì San LorenzoTime has been kind to this wine, as it has really come on strong with bottle age. Crisp, classic and fresh, with a kirsch, spice and herbed, tannic profile. Classic, with loads of bright, clean red fruits, age it a few more years for additional nuance, or pop a cork if you prefer more of a classic, bite.
