2000 Domaine de Cristia Châteauneuf-du-Pape Renaissance - France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape (10/3/2009)
Good, but not exciting. Slightly disjointed. Shows nice dark fruit, earth, provencal herbs, and leather both on the nose and palate, but the acidity is running a bit unchecked. High in acid, almost shrill. I wonder if that is some VA in my bottle. With hours of air, the situation improved, but never completely settled. Certainly a disappointing bottle in the overall context of things. I have one more left and I’m curious if that one will show differently.
