  Last of 12, opened an hour, perfect cork and level - notes mostly fine or better in 10 years from '98, brown rimmed yet surprisingly fresh and attractive, remarkably layered, long and with ok persistence ......and this in less than a perfect vintage, sense of early decline, drink but no rush if well cellared as here (unmoved since '96). F+ (18).

  Color: Ruby with salmon/straw on the edges
  Nose: leather, mushrooms, light aromatic intensity
  Body: medium bodied, muted blackberry, leather, mint, rose. Low acidity and light chalky tannins, which are mostly integrated.
  
  PnP seemed to open within 20 minutes, strong alcohol aromas blew off within a few minutes. Cork was protruding and had a loose seal (slid forward under coravin pressure) but the bottle seems to be in good shape still. This is a nice mature CdP with clear tertiary notes but still some fruit to balance. It's likely on a slow decline, but still has some life remaining. 91-92

  Savory and tasty, a touch of mint and leather and sweet fruit , showing younger than expected, drink up because it isn’t getting any better. I didn’t care for this much when it was young, as it was more modern than I prefer, and it has evolved far better than I would have predicted.

  Birthday Celebration Chateauneuf-Du-Papes (Bill's, Wilmette IL): Nose: The nose was on the straightforward side with roast coffee, licorice, raspberries, and leather tones. There was medium depth to the nose, but it wasn't too expressive.
  
  Taste: Medium bodied with medium acidity and supporting tannins. The structure has pulled back and is in a supporting role at this point. There is good blance to the feel with licorice, rasbperries, tobacco, coffee, and some leather notes.
  
  Overall: This just lacked some depth and charm to really make it good. Still, it was enjoyable and everything was in the right place.

  P tremendous at pop and pour. After short decant so rich and decadent with enough lovely acidity . Lush and brilliantly integrated, tons of fruit
