  WCC Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blind Dinner (The Chef's Table in Café Capriccio, Albany, NY): [Double-decanted around noon; left bottle uncorked until 4:30 pm.] Tart, muted nose. Even more backward than the previous wine [2007]. Definitely needs more time. Hard to judge. 92-??

  Lovely nose, classic Grenache CNDP. Pure red fruit. Herbs. A bit alcoholic.
  Alcohol again present on the palate, muting lovely pure and intense black and red fuit flavours.
  This benefited from chilling: the alcohol blew off and the really lovely stone fruit character emerged more strongly.

  Balance between fruit and backbone could get better. A little too spicy, almost sweet. Needed offset by a very flavorful baby back rib.

  Lab BBQ. Quite a bit of earth/funk on the nose and the palate, followed by rich fruit and a nice mouthfeel. This is a very solid and well-made CdP that leans a bit toward a modern style. Have two left and they should hold for a few years.
