2003 Chateauneuf-du-Pape AOC, Rhône, France

Delicate nose with dried flowers, some figs and dried fruit, nuts and old oak in the background. Youthful on the palate, elegant and lively, slightly sour yellow fruit, with some light vegetal and herbal notes, elegant, nervous acidity gives the wine a lively, racy touch, quite complex attractive to good finish.
