Community Tasting Notes 35

  December 19, 2020 - Fully mature now, but still utterly satisfying. Old-school Chateauneuf du Pape, airy and light with a lean body, showing faded cherry fruit, herbs and spices. Very complex, mostly on tertiary notes, but is easy to drink because of the lightness. 13.5% alc. Don’t wait too long with this.

  October 19, 2019 - Wow, a bit of leakage, and it took a two prong and a corkscrew to slowly remove cork, but really nice, a bit of prune, no Brett, or oak, just nice aged, rich CDP. Remember purchasing from the Prestige et Tradition in downtown CDP. Really nice fellow at the cash register, and pallets of the Bosquet shrink rapped going to Denver on the floor, waiting shipment. Yum!

  November 30, 2018 - Beautiful color, a little bricking on the edge. Restrained nose but came around in 30 minutes or so with red fruits, mushroom, and nice acidity. Tannins intact, still firm.

  January 28, 2018 - Color: Medium Garnet with bricking
  Nose: Mushrooms! with herbs, earth, a little funky
  Palete: Soft acidity, dried red fruit (raspberry, strawberry), a bit of mushroom earthiness
  Body: Lithe, more like a Burgundy than a Rhone, not shy but graceful
  Finish: Long, lingering, dried red berry fruit, soft tannins, lingering hint of cinnamon
  
  This is long past its lush, sensuous time, and yet a very pleasant wine, like a "Grand Dame" with elegance, poise and character.
