January 14, 2018 - Second Sunday Group: 2015 Châteauneuf-du-Pape (Barb's): Courtesy of MaY, popped and poured. Initially there's a slight hint of something musty, perhaps TCA, but it eventually blew off rather than worsened, so just a little bottle funk...fears allayed. Crimson core though showing some age at the meniscus. Floral and black currant notes with a slight earthy tobacco quality. Nice red berry fruit on the palate with softened tannin and nice balancing acidity. Finishes with nice length.
I'd have loved to have spent an evening with this to follow its development. We have been lucky/fortunate enough to be with MaY for the first two of his three bottles, and hope to be around for the last. Thank you, M. 93+ pts, with some room for improvement with additional complexity.8,374 views
