WTN: 1998 Chateau La Nerthe Chateauneuf du Pape

Just testing to see how some of the 1998s are doing - this one is just fine. Barely starting to show some leathery characteristics, with plenty of earthy cherry and raspberry fruit. Medium bodied, but feels richer than that. Well balanced and very fine.

Thanks David. I am not really heavy in CdP. This is the only 98 I have and I was wondering on when to open. Will gladly let it sleep.

Brian,

If you have been storing at 55 degrees then you'll be fine. If not then why not give it a pop.
