2003 Fortia

Drinking at home.

2003 Château Fortia Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée du Baron - started drinking some 20 minutes after decanting. Got the fruit here, but also very woodsy and some vanilla. Still kinda grippy and tannic more than 20 years later. This opened up very nicely after 45 minutes, and the nose was showing fragrant cedar.
