This wine certainly reflects both its origins and its vintage, which is already a good start...
Most enjoyable with food, this wine should be consumed in the very near future. Even from magnum, this wine is already several years past its peak, which is one of the reasons why I never purchased 2003 vintage wines. They simply don't have the balance to age gracefully over time. There is still plenty to like here with generous concentration of very ripe fruit, great spicy intensity and excellent CdP typicity.

(876 views) | | | Tasted by paulst on 4/13/2013 & rated 89 points: Unexpressive nose; cherry and raisen; muscular; lots of tannins with little dots on the glass, but rather tight and moderately sweet and not well integrated; too young.

Menthol, anise, more purple fruit and leather. Some nice age on the nose. (3759 views) | | | Tasted by silton on 2/27/2009 & rated 93 points: On the brilliant side of brilliant vs. hot and pruney. Agree with David F and Josh Raynolds in most respects -- tons of sedimnent, gobs of pure fruit that overwhelm the tannin, with plenty of structure, balance, and class. Unmistakable CdP. Becoming fabulous on day 2, day 1 being a single good but edgy glass. (2823 views) | | | Tasted by David F on 1/25/2006 & rated 94 points: Rich ruby red with a chocolate tinge. Lots of fruit up front (cherry, blackberry, some strawberry). Tannins not too considerable. Definitely decant - sediment (unfiltered). Very well balanced. Very enjoyable now but will have 10-20 great years ahead. 2 left (wait until 2011/2016). (3057 views) |

On CellarTracker, Red Rhone Blend is the term for a wine consisting of two or more of the traditional 13 Southern Rhone grape varieties. Typically it's the Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre or Cinsault grapes, but can also contain the Muscardin, Counoise, Clairette, Bourboulenc, Picpoul, Roussanne, Terret Noir, Picardan or Vaccarese grapes.
A 'food' wine. Lacking pretension and intended for local consumption with local cuisine. Lacks the 'high' notes on a Bordeaux, more earthy and sharper so often a better partner to meat dishes with a sauce.

"As I have written many times in the past, the sweet spot for drinking Châteauneuf du Papes is usually the first 5-6 years after the vintage. Then they seem to go through an adolescent, awkward, and sometimes dormant stage, only to re-emerge around year 10-12, where the majority of wines are often fully mature. The best of them will continue to hold on to life (but rarely improving) beyond 15-20 years. It is only the exceptional Châteauneuf du Papes that will evolve for 20-25+ years, and those are indeed a rarity. However, things may be improving dramatically in terms of the longevity of Châteauneuf du Pape, although Grenache-dominated wines, the vast majority of wines produced in the appellation, are wines that do not have the polyphenol (extract and tannin) content of top Cabernet Sauvignons, Merlots, or Syrah-based wines. Nevertheless, the younger generation in Châteauneuf du Pape has taken seriously the farming in the vineyards. There are more organic and biodynamically run vineyards here than in any other appellation of France. The yields, which were already low, are even lower today (20-35 hectoliters per hectare), and of course, the proliferation of top luxury and/or old-vine cuvées gives a significant boost to the number of wines that will evolve past 25 or 30 years. The advantage of these wines is their broad window of drinkability." - Robert Parker
