La Crau de ma Mère Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2003

Bought this as a birthday wine and paired it with some Chinese food lamb and eggplant. It’s impressive how much energy and life is still in this, with the color still a clear deep rose, with the bricking amber colors only showing under sharp lighting on the medium body. The nose is like meaty blueberries and mashed strawberries, maybe even a little plum, with musty bookcase and black olive notes with maybe a hint of blood orange as well. It blends perfectly with food, with deep ripe jammy blueberries and black berries, more black olives, a hint of tar, driftwood, barbecue burnt ends and tannin that’s still very much gripping at the end of the palate. The flavor lingers for a looong time, with hints of celery salt and a kind of inky black saucy flavor, like a dark soy sauce but more vinegary towards the end. Damn fine wine. — 2 months ago

@Doug Powers as promised . Dry leaves and plums on the nose. In the mouth spices, cherry , earth and good acid . Certainly the magnum format kept this alive. However for me it had not become complex and had a very clipped finish. — 10 days ago

@Ira Schwartz, I have recently (last 3-4 months) had 750-ml bottles of the 1999 and 2000 VT that, were, frankly disappointing compared to the VT bottles I purchased in the 1980s. They used to be 30-40 year wines that developed slowly in the cellar, those 1999/2000 bottles were fully mature and one bottle was past it. All my VT purchases were from Kermit Lynch, so I don’t really know what changed?
