Vinetasters: Châteauneuf-du-Pape (Skokie, IL): Served double blind. Quite some stinky brett on the nose here, but underneath it, there's some sweet slightly raisined fruit. The palate's fruit is incredibly intense, but there's a raisiny edge here that I think detracts from the overall experience. The fruit here is so fresh and intense, and balanced nicely by the acids, with tannins that are on the verge of resolution. My 2nd, group's 9th.
