  My last bottle and for some reason the only one listed on my CT inventory. It is possible I drank all my other 2003s before enrolling on CT....Anyway, this was part of a NYE dinner. It was opened, but not decanted for over an hour. It was spectacular. Subdued fruit, followed by spices, it was medium bodied with a long finish. A nose of violets.

  Vinetasters: 2001 Châteauneuf-du-Pape et al. (Skokie, IL): Served double blind. Smells like purple. Candied sweet cherry profile. Bitter and getting to the overdone category here. Clean though, but the tannins are astringent and overdone. My 1st, group's 3rd.

  14.5%. Nose of alcohol and some macerated cherry. Some baked earth and alcohol. Frankly, this was simply monumentally dull. We couldn't be bothered to finish the bottle.

  Drinking perfectly now. The nose is truffles and vegetable compost and the flavours are like a nice soft ganache. Very approachable now and I wish I had more bottles

  Just a beautiful wine, drinking seductively and beautifully now at its 17 years. I wish that I had other bottles.
