medium to full bodied still. Only a trace of the cherry fruit and pepper it had previously. Clearly on the downside of the curve but still pleasurable. My last bottle of this wine.

Still absolutely stunning. Old-school Chateauneuf-du-Pape, light and vertical. Funky, notes of farm and leather, cool fruited, herbs, earthy. Great deal of complexity but still so easy and enjoyable to drink. In the sweet spot right now.

Light browny brick, very mature farmyard on the nose, sweet earthy farmyard palate, light to medium weight, delicious. Drink now; The wine has nowhere else to go.

(Clos du Mont-Olivet Chareauneuf-du-Pape) Rosewater, slight VA, orange spice, day old mint, bright berry fruit, autumnal leaves and minerals. Supple palate but a touch bitter on the finish. Nice tense fruit and an appealing cardamon, cinnamon, clove spice on the finish. Good but not as outstanding when last tasted a year ago. Maybe closed.
(Clos du Mont-Olivet Chateauneuf-du-Pape) This wine has showed superbly every time I have had it. This was # 5. Animal fur, minerals, touch of brett that blew off after around 45 minutes. Smoked meat, tar, roses and cherry liquor too. Bright and juicy on the palate with low acid, excellent ripeness and great length. Focused and somewhat silky tannins. Maybe a little short but still just a great little wine.
