Clos du Mont-Olivet "Cuvee du Papet" Chateauneuf-du-Pape 2004

Deep red.

Red cherry coulis and garrigue aromas with suggestions of nuts, earth, red licorice underneath.

Garrigue quite prominent in the mouth, with corresponding chewy stem (?) tannin. Nicely backed up by red cherry and licorice flavor density. Quite structured, slightly rustic (positive), but flavors flow freely on another track. VGS.

Day 4 - Suave, integrated nose. Round and mouth-filling, with an unobtrusive edge of acidity/stem chew that keeps everything lively. Very good mid-palate flesh.
