  Definitely showing aged notes, tomato and leather. Resolved tannins, pretty elegant on the palate. Solid aged chateauneuf, I think time to drink.

  60 minute decant. Boozy nose shows dark cherry, brandy, kirsch, and rum cask. Comes off drier on the palate with raspberry preserves, cherry pit, and earthy red fruits along with dried bay leaf and tarragon. Resolved tannins lead into leather, cherry, smoked ham, and dusty acidity and attic notes that grab your throat on the way down. Perhaps the best aged CdP we've had as we usually like them within 10 years.

  This seemed tired and not a good representation of what mature Pegau should taste like...

  26 February 2024 - Sun dried tomatoes, stewed Provence herbs, slow cooked red meat, and roasted beetroot on the nose. The nose is so rich. It has a sweetness on the palette, but not really fruit sweetness, more sweetness that you get from slow cooked lamb and again sun dried tomatoes. Again great richness. Plummy, damson fruit. Great length.

  Stood up two weeks in advance. Four hour slow oxidation. A deep ruby core fading to a pale ruby outer edge. Slightly closed aromas of damp herbs, bitter cacao nibs, black cherry, and freshly turned earth that failed to intensify despite sufficient time. The palate was all about braised beef and roasted vine tomatoes. Despite respectable levels of concentration and impressive balance this still underwhelmed. A very good wine nevertheless.
