Sweet, toasty oak, blackberry liqueur, acacia flower, and melted asphalt aromas jump from the glass of the 2001 Cuvee Actium. It boasts great intensity along with huge notes of black fruits, and a hint of truffles. Ripe, but internationally-styled, it should drink well for 10-12 years.
As evidenced by these tasting notes as well as those from the 2000s and 1999s, this is an extraordinary offering, bottled without fining or filtration. It is among the most exciting wines being produced from any of the Cotes du Rhone appellations.
This estate, located in the village of Travaillan, and run by perfectionist Daniel Boulle, has quickly emerged as one of the most serious Cotes du Rhone producers. This offering is an ageworthy, super-concentrated example of what can be accomplished by a passionate, highly committed producer.
