The 2000 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Velours is a sexy, opulent, flashy effort. Currently it does not reveal much complexity, but it does possess a boatload of glycerin, sweet strawberry and cherry liqueur-like flavors, medium to full body, and a soft texture. Drink this sexy fruit bomb over the next decade.
