Friday, February 15, 2013 - I took a flyer on this on WineBid and was hoping for more ... but alas, it's a past mature, tired, poor vintage Chateauneuf. There is that telltale Pegau personality, a bit wild, meaty, bloody, roasted. It's certainly drinkable and even charming, but there is no prince or princess to be found whilst kissing this frog. It was well worth the try though.
