Domaine du Pegau
Cuvée Réservé Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend
Took a long time to soften and actually needed decanting to help. With enough air it became a nice red.

Anyhow, jammy raspberries and a whole garden of vegetables on the nose. Palate is quite refined with white pepper, rock and all the trademark CDP flavors. Im never a huge fan of that fruit in the front, but the mid and back arr gorgeous. What's truly remarkable is the balance...The ability to isolate any single flavor to ruminate on, how each nuance to perfectly morphs into the next. Still some pronounced tannin in this guy!

Dec 24th, 20152006 Vintage decanted for four hours. Well over a year since I had an 06 and it keeps getting better and better. I think it is drinking better than the 2007 right now, and that is saying a lot
