2004 Clos des Papes

Drinking at home.

2004 Clos des Papes Rouge - decanted and served. Initially pretty farmy, a little pungent, with some black fruits. Savory on the palate. With second pour the nose was more fragrant with woodsy notes. Still tannic. After 2 hours in the decanter this was lovely and fragrant, with tannins softening and becoming more velvety. Still concenrated, of course.
