The score doesn't reflect the interesting-ness of this wine, which was fascinating - it just wasn't especially good. Piney oxidized nose. Very odd. Over the hill, I think. Light acid, medium- body. Intense lemon curd finish.
France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Delicious nose - acidic, meaty, talcy. Rich mouthfeel, smooth, medium- tannins, medium+ acid and body. Very elegant. Black plum. Representative, except it tastes older (like a time machine for an 06).
France, Languedoc Roussillon, Languedoc, Languedoc-Pézenas
Cookie spice on the nose - cinnamon, clove, very interesting. Rich, sweet (15% alcohol). Slightly coarse texture. Creamy oak. Chocolate. Very new-world.

Nice nose, Pinoty. Red cherries. Nice attack, but then freakishly dies off. Very smooth, but at the expense of tannins. Light+ acid. Odd. Dry.
