Wednesday, November 13, 2013 - Monthly Tasting Group HWS #083; Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2005 vs 2007 (By AH): Seeing the scores here, we must have had an off bottle this evening. The bouquet was rusty, reductive and showing celery. On the palate it was better, but also a bit reductive. Spiciness, ripe and soft fruits, ok soft tannin with some bite and a good balance between sweetness and acidity and good bitterness. My score for tonight is quite out of line with the other scores in CT, but I nevertheless enter it for future personal reference.
