This bottle was decanted and poured. There is a good amount of fine sediment sticking to the side of the bottle that was laid down. This wine showed better than expected. It is mature and not likely to improve from additional bottle age. The bouquet shows dried cherry, dried herbs, black pepper, cigar ash, tobacco leaf and cigar humidor notes. The color is brick red and appropriate for its age. The medium bodied palate shows good depth and balance. It continues the mature theme. The tannins are subtle and mostly resolved. This is fine example of a nicely aged basic CdP.

A solid Chateauneuf du pape wine. It is in a good shape and has still a lot of red fruit left and a good length. Over its peak but very enjoyable.

Bottle looks to be a bit flawed. Either heat damaged or otherwise marred. Not sure why as the Boisrenard was in fine condition. Gave the rest to Alex.
