Eddie Feraud, Chateauneuf-du-Pape 2004

Vibrant red.

Lifted, even pungent, nose - resin/garrigue/sauteed meat/kirsch/peanut sauce. Deep, killer nose.

Similar, vibrant, character in the mouth. Tight and a bit linear, but pure, powerful flavor rides through. Long and chewy.
Exciting stuff.

Day 4 - Peanut/earth, garrigue/herb liqueur on the nose. Restrained, expansive, textural sweetness in the mouth. "Acid"/stem chew immediately apparent. Nicely balanced tug-of-war. Flavors and structural chew battle throughout, very long, very satisfying.
