This is a classic Chateauneuf du Pape, redolent of aromas of seaweed, pepper, kirsch, spice box, and beautiful fruit flavors. The 2003 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Girard seems just slightly broader and sweeter than the regular bottling by a point or two in the mid-section. Otherwise, it is similar. Dark ruby/purple in color with sweet, spicy kirsch, raspberry, and garrigue notes and moderate tannin, it should drink well for 10-12 years.
