The 2003 Chateauneuf du Pape Mourre des Perdrix reveals a saturated dark ruby/purple-tinged color as well as a classic perfume of black cherries, raspberries, flowers, and a notion of barnyard/earth. With a fleshy texture, medium to full body, loads of depth, low acidity, ripe tannin, and wonderful sweetness, purity, and overall elegance, it resembles a synthesis in style between a grand cru Cotes de Nuits and a Chateauneuf du Pape.
