Anyone out there having tasted the 2003 CdP - Clos de Papes... it would be interesting to read your posts/opinion on this vintage. Is this really the monstrous Rhone it's made out to be?

Recently posted by Larry Meehan on another board:
"2003 Clos des Papes Chateauneuf-du-Pape -- Bob Eppich waved a glass in my face and said "smell this". Hmmm -- powdery -- a tactile experience in sniffing. If forced to guess. I'd go with Central Coast Syrah...maybe a really ripe Zin. Scents of chocolate, and brambly, ultra-ripe fruit. Apparently my real task was to act as a TCA-sniffing customs dog -- I found none. I never tasted the wine, but based on the nose, I wonder more about truth in labeling than being corked."
