2003 Domaine du Pegau, Chateauneuf du Pape, Da Capo

RP 100 "At present the Capo reveals that extra level of flavor, power, complexity and richness. It is a big wine (16.1% alcohol ? less than in the 1998, but more than in the 2000 and 2007) boasting a dark plum/garnet color as well as a stunning bouquet of aged beef intermixed with pepper, herbes de Provence, and steak au poivre. This unctuously textured, full-bodied Chateauneuf possesses enormous body, huge flavors and sweet, velvety tannins. Still youthful, it has not yet begun to close down, and I'm not sure it ever will given this unusual vintage. It is a modern day classic that should continue to provide provocative as well as compelling drinking for 20-30+ years. (RP)" (October 2010)
