Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Croix de Bois--Vintage 2003
Rhône. French-bottled: Chapoutier
In original wooden case
Tasting note: Reminiscent of a liqueur of herbes de Provence intermixed with notes of saddle leather and licorice, the dark ruby/plum/purple-tinged 2003 Châteauneuf du Pape Croix de Bois reeks of herbs, pepper, and spice box. Smelling and tasting this wine is like walking through an open air Provencal market. It is beautifully fragrant, rich, full-bodied, heady, and long. Drink it over the next 15+ years. 93 points.
