Didn't take notes, but this was an impressive wine, with lots of iron, leather, game and red fruits. Good concentration and complexity. Just a little less impressive than the 2005 Vatican Sixtine had before it, but still quite good (A-).

I'm just not a Chateauneuf-du-Pape fan. Bought this on a lark at what I considered a good price. Don't really feel qualified to compare it to its peers but for my tastes, I just wasn't impressed.

Out of balance. Powerful still fresh and ripe spiced dark fruits but lacking the acidity to keep it from being soft and mushy on the palate.

Took a while to open up but mellowed out later in the evening.
