2005 Château Gloria

The fruit is getting a bit tired, in my view it's a bit early for that. Also there is a bite to this wine that I think is some form of acidity that is very displeasing. I suspect this bottle is spoiled in some way, but I don't fully understand it. NR because I think there's a flaw, though I'm not sure which one. I'll drink my last one soon.

2007 Clos du Mont-Olivet Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Cuvée du Papet

This seems like a typical O7 CdP to me. Dark ruby color, medium opacity (not clear, not opaque). It has a very rich sweet kirsch liqueur nose. Some forest floor, though the fruit is the dominant smell. A bit hot on the nose, and also somewhat stony. Black licorice, sweet fruit, medium body, pleasing long finish with no bite. Tannins are fine and sweet.
Overall a very nice wine. Drink now or within a few years I think. It might be interesting to save one for another 10 years.
