Clos du Mont-Olivet "Cuvee du Papet" Chateauneuf-du-Pape 1998

Light red.

Deep smoky/spicy/meaty/toasted hazelnut/blood/iron aromatics. Yes, this smells great.

Grilled herbs, spice flavors, quite bound up at the moment. Even shows some of the wilted greens aspect of the Tardieu-Laurent. Getting sweeter in the mouth with air.

Day 4 - This really hasn't improved a great deal in the mouth. A bit more give, but no additional nuances/complexity to speak of.
