2005 Clos Saint-Michel Châteauneuf-du-Pape - France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape (1/11/2010)
Still a young CdP, but highly approachable now. Dark color, substantial nose of rocky soil, grilled meat, pepper, touch of heat. Dark fruits, rather sweet and quite massive, but probably apropos for the vintage. Big mouthfeel, a bit hot with the alcohol, raw meat (iodine, some salinity), and blackberries come through on the finish. A nice buy for $22.00. (89 pts.)
