Cool, airy, dusty fruit on the palate with garrigue marks, leather, tobacco, mint. Impressive stuff, STGT all the way and on the day it absolutely destroys the 2005 Clos des Papes. This is ready to go though, no reason to wait any longer.

September 13, 2020 - Wow, absolutely stunning.
Complex and elegant aromatics. Garrigue, smoke, leather, dark fruits, spices, licorice.
On the palate the tannins are completely resolved, it shows a freshness which is impressive for the vintage. Similar aromatics, ink and mineral, long finish.
One of the best Boursan I had.1 person found this helpful Comment -

December 4, 2016 - Paired with a rustic daube along with another 2005. It was great with the food showing way more youthful than Greenblanket expected. Dark red fruit still rides atop garrigue and earth. Years to go, Greenblanket thinks.

6/17/2008 (link)(Bois de Boursan Chateauneuf-du-Pape) This was amazing. A lovely nose of soil components, florality, garrigue, black and green olive and dark cherry and cassis. The palate was big, rich and structured with lovely grippy tanins. A great fruit soak on the finish lingers for what seems like minutes. This has years to go but was great to get s snapshot where this wonderful CDP is right now.
