I've had some tired and almost over the hill bottles of the 2000 Domaine de Pegau Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvee Reservée recently, yet this bottle was firing on all cylinders, with a mature yet lively vibe in its sweet red fruits, garrigue, pepper, and meaty aromas and flavors. Reminding me of a Grand Cru Burgundy on the palate, with a seamless, layered texture, it's a gorgeous Châteauneuf du Pape that's not going to get any better, yet should drink nicely from well-stored bottles over the coming decade.
