Ch�teau de Beaucastel Ch�teauneuf-du-Pape Blanc

identical notes to 28-10-2007; should not be served too cold, needs decanting.

decanted 1 hour in advance, mature color, impression of old yellow/gold,interesting nose, strange, flower impressions; on the palate the wine feels like wax? medium bodied, during the first hour the wine expanded in the nose and taste, after 2 1/2 hours the wine started to close down again? short aftertaste. should be drunk at a higher temperature (for white wines). e.g. 14 degrees celsius. decent enough acidity. an interesting wine from a lesser year.
