Community Tasting Note

Saturday, September 8, 2007 - Older and interesting wines with the Meat Fairy at Châteauneuf-du-Joe. (Dougherty's.): I'm usually not a fan of matching a wine with soup, but this really worked well with the Maryland crab soup. The wine's very earthy/lightly petrolly character and desiccated stone fruit notes complemented the bay seasoning and sweet crabbiness wonderfully. Just a touch of ripe sweetness balanced by a strong acid backbone. To my tastes it's at peak. I like where the fruit is now and prefer a little more fruit to a bit more earth. A -/B+.
