Trip to France; 10/13/2008-10/24/2008 (Burgundy, Rhone Valley (Chateauneuf-du-Pape), Paris): Really had trouble figuring this one out. Very aromatic nose with lots of dense cherry, but dominated by an oily licorice scent I couldn't place. Maybe had a little anise and liquorish as well. Palate and finish were disappointing compared to the nose. Rather firm, closed, with some bright fruit. Finish was rather simple and short. In all, an intriguing nose but the palate and finish couldn't keep up.
