2003 Chateauneuf du Pape

It was hot but not much diurnal temperature variation.

This wine is mature now and drinks like a much older wine.

Nice color separation as it begins to turn brick.

Nose of fig, date, and smoked meat.

Still has nice fruits.

Well balanced, soft tannins, an a nice finish.

I think we will start to go through our 2003's.
