2006 Domaine du Pégau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Réservée

Consumed over 8 nights, using VacuVin/refrigerator. From opening to last sip, a very expressive nose of leather, minerals and red fruit. Medium body, luxurious mouthfeel without heaviness, tannins fine and well in check, nice acidity. A joy to drink, and I think it will last another 10 years without much if any decline.

Mike's anticipated drinking window is through 2018. I can not imagine this beauty lasting for less than another 10-15 years. Not a hint of the 14.9% alcohol, a panoply of flavors and aromas, bright acidity, very long finish— just about perfect. Consumed over several nights using Coravin.

From the first release, my last of six purchased in 2005— the first note is slight mold under the capsule, and staining 2/3 of the way up the cork. Opened, and being very TCA sensitive, sniff the cork, and what a delightful experience that was— everything A-OK+++. Bottle number 5 had been horribly stripped of fruit and quite metallic, so I had been a bit fearful with this one.
The wine possesses beautiful color, with slight bricking throughout, glorious nose (my non-drinking wife was wowed), fine acidity with a hint of sweetness, wonderful mouthfeel and a panoply of flavors with excellent length. And needless to say, just grand with a broiled rack of lamb. I do not know how much longer it has, but it is in a beautiful place at this time.
