Tasting Note: 2003 Saint Cosme Chateauneuf du Pape

Jammy, spicy, and warm with spearmint and anis on nose. A subtle woody character similar to freshly fallen cedar logs in a cool, damp forest. Great structure with fine grainy tannin. This wine has aging potential, not quite chewy, a ripe wine that manages to show great finesse. Moderate plus acidity holds wine together. A puckery, dark chocolately finish.
