WTN: 2004 Clos des Brusquieres CdP

2004 Clos des Brusquieres Chateauneuf-du-Pape: 60% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 10% Mourvedre. 14.5% alcohol. $26.99 (USD).

This CdP was a deep red/purple color. It had a very fruity nose, lots of blackberry with a spicy note, maybe black pepper and ginger. The palate was very earthy with lots of herbal/underbrush flavors. Also, hints of blackberry and black currant. The tannins were very tight. I feel it would benefit from storage for several more years.

I've not had the wine, but interesting call on the ginger. Not a descriptor I think to use, but on reading your note I realize I've had it in wines and not thought to use that term--this week's Musars, in fact, both had something of that element. Good note.

Yeah, good one. Will look out for that ginger!!

Thanks guys...you are too kind! Still have trouble picking out individual flavors and smells, but I am trying. Thanks for the encouragement!
