Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, April 20, 2011 - Seriously good Chateauneuf. Dark in color, even browning a bit, but nowhere near tired. Has developed a lovely bottle bouquet and secondary aromas of bacon fat and smoked meat. Even more lovely in the mouth, where it is sleek and elegant but then has great grip on the mid-palate and in the finish. A heady wine in every way, this is how a 13-year-old Chateauneuf should taste but too seldom does. I left some of this sitting in the glass overnight for 24 hours and it hadn't lost a thing. Big wine with a looooooooooong finish. Awesome. Years of life ahead, and will probably only get better. 5-12-17-8: 92/100
