  No points -- nothing specific -- too long ago. I do remember being underwhelmed however. More time in the cellar?

  friends, you can't open Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2003 on 2007 & hope to find good or very good wine, he need more time in cellar. opened at 2013 more than 1.5 hour in decanter... red & atom color. nose - at beginning no something special but...after the wine opened it was great. Nose of ground , black fruit, intense flavors and strong, after more than 2 hours you can find sweet nose, recommended to combine with flavors of red meat and strong / robust. 92! Drink now – 2017.

  Really, this wine is an 86 if you are someone that likes your 6 year old CdP to taste like overripe zinfandel past its prime. This is the second bottle in as many weeks, and I think that it's just gone. Ripe plum and soy sauce on the nose lead to a cloyingly sweet vanilla custard finish. Tasted blind it acted like over the hill Zin. So if that's your thing, call me and I'll send you the rest of my bottles.

  THis may be an off bottle, but it's gone all cherry coke on me. At first, loads of licorice and chocolate, but with a sweet fruit and pruny richness that was a bit off-putting. Thought it needed a bit to open up perhaps, which was a mistake. The nose is beautifully floral but the mouth is like flat coca cola. I think I may have missed this one--or just had an off bottle.

  Delicious bottle. Very refined, pale red color, fruit, spices, some tannins in the finish
