France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape
blind tasting; light red-brown color, brown rim; wonderful secondary & tertiary aromas of leather & spices; tannic, balanced, still very enjoyable inspite that the wine is over its peak; long after-taste, a real pleasure.
blind tasting; red-purple color; wonderful leathery smoky aroma of a mature wine, more Riojan than Priorat!; full-bodied, tannic, harmonious, long after-taste - a good surprise.
Blind tasting; bottle was opened just before the tasting; light red-brown color with brown rim; Strong green herbs aroma that softened a bit during 30 min - this wine require a pre-opening of few hours; very tannic & green in taste; a classical Saint Estephe.

strong stinky smell that didn't leave the wine; also unpleasant taste; seems a clear case of TCA.
