France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Decanted for 3 hours. 3rd wine of the tasting. This is sliky smooth and was developing over the hour it was being drunk. Still primary without secondary notes that you would expect. This will be a blockbuster in the future but I'm putting the rest away for 3-4 years before trying again.

Decanted for 3 hours. 6th bottle into the tasting. Raspberry, truffle, leather, spicy. Full bodied, long finish, good tannins. This has a long life ahead. Great wine that will only improve.

Popped and poured which was a crime. This is just a baby and has the stuffing to get much better. Give it a couple of more years to settle down.
