Top Notes For
2005, A great chateauneuf that is getting to its peak after almost 10 years of cellaring.
The wine has a bit of a country style, rustic and wild, it has a deep red black color, with an intensive rich nose of black cherries, leather, mushrooms , spices and wet earth, medium to full body rich intense and chewy, tannins have mellowed down and acidity is still kicking. Was hoping for more elegance, but I like the rustic style and the nice long spicy finish.
My score 90, drink to 2017.

Feb 8th, 2015A little gem from the cellar. Perfect Wednesday night wine. Black fruits, five spice, smoke. Meaty in a good way.
