This should drink well relatively early

While certainly a good effort I was somewhat under-whelmed given the usual standards this wine offers

it was labeled as their traditional Chateauneuf du Pape up until 2005

Fernand & Laurent Pillot, Meursault Caillerets Size:6x750ml tobacco and wet chalkRiper and ever so vaguely exotic notes include those of white peach, cool floral, pear and citrus on the nicely spicy nose that are trimmed in moderate wood. Unusually, there is a hint of quinine on the beautifully delineated and stony medium weight flavors that culminate in a citrusy, clean, markedly dry and mildly austere finale. This beautifully delineated effort is clearly built to age and is going to need at least 4 to 6 years of patience first.
