In contrast, the 2001 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Laurence remains very youthful and less evolved than the 2004. The color is a healthy plum/garnet with slight lightening at the edge. Expansively flavored with abundant notes of garrigue, sandalwood, black cherries, licorice and herbs, this full-bodied wine possesses sweet tannins as well as emerging complexity. It should drink well for two more decades. It is my second favorite Cuvee Laurence, after the 1998.
