The 2001 Les Terrasses is a remarkable offering from importer Eric Solomon, who personally put together this 9,000 case blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah, all from vines over thirty years of age. Approximately one-third of it spent time in barrel. A dense ruby/purple color is followed by sumptuous aromas of black fruits, spice, earth, and flowers. Full-bodied and opulent, with good underlying structure, dazzling purity, and tremendous texture, this high-class, serious Cotes du Ventoux is supple enough to drink now yet possesses all the stuffing needed to age (possibly improve) for 4-6 years. Amazing stuff! Importer: Eric Solomon, European Cellars, Charlotte, NC; tel. (704) 358-1565
