(98 Points) The prodigious 2001 Doix Costers de Vinyes Velles is a blend of 55% Grenache (from 90+ year old vines) and 45% Carignan (from 100+ year old vines). An inky/purple color is followed by sumptuous aromas of scorched earth, creme de cassis, graphite, licorice, and a hint of balsamic vinegar. Rich, unctuously-textured, and full-bodied, but tremendously layered and nuanced, I was surprised to learn it was aged in 100% new French oak. The finish lasts for 50+ seconds. There are about 300 cases for the USA market. It should evolve nicely for 12-15 years, possibly longer. Wine Advocate # 152 Apr 2004
