Guigal Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2003

As I move away from Bordeaux, I treated myself to this Chateauneuf, which is a blend of 80% Grenache, 10% Syrah, and 5% Mourvèdre and others. After some time decanting, the nose showed over time aromas of raspberry, roasted chicken, manure, earth, vanilla, nuts, cinnamon and some caramel. On the palate it was light to mid bodied, with silky tannins and a soft drying lengthy finish. All up for me a lovely "animalistic" and feminine result, which I loved.
50+4+14+17+8 = 93/100
