1999 Chapoutier Barbe Rac CDP

[TheEngineer]

Opened and it was a bit thin and muted. Mushroom, foresty, cedary, nice but not great. After about an hour, it opened up nice, becoming more round, back with dried fruits, port like (but not that thick) and it was just great. Perhaps a bit more advanced than I had expected from a 9 year old bottle but might only be this one.
