Chateuaneuf in ATL 9/28/08: Very good showing. Group like this more than I did initially. High-toned sweet cherry and herbal notes on the palate. Reveals more earth, leather and pepper with time. Opened nicely over time. WOTF.

Pop and pour. Same newish-looking cork that others have noted. Big beautiful perfumed nose...almost Burgundian. A bit thin on the palate for me, with pretty big white pepper. Brief finish. Interesting, but I probably won't be looking for more.

Very nice sweet red cherry, kirsch, earth, tapenade flavors, medium bodied, nice texture and finish. For an "off year" in Rhones, this is a very good Chateauneuf du Pape, drinking beautifully. Paired with grilled pork chops with sage and garlic.

Well made but lacking some complexity. Late in life likely past its prime.

Nose of red fruit that doesn't last thru the mid-palate. Slightly herbal finish. Overall a bit of a disapointment.
