Mas de Boislauzon Cuvée du Quet (Châteauneuf-du-Pape)
Super wine with real, old vine intensity. The wine really packs a punch, in all the right ways. Fat, yet balanced, sweet, yet fresh, the wine is long, finishing with a blast of peppery, spicy, black raspberries and earth. 3,931 Views Tasted Mar 12, 2017This is a really fine expression of Chateauneuf du Pape. Served blind, not everyone liked it, but I loved its jammy, black raspberry, earth, kirsch and stone perfume. Although, at first, there was a hint of wood, which faded after about an hour in the glass. Rich, but not over the top, ripe, but not over ripe, the supple textured, pure finish was a pleasure to taste. There was no sensation of heat in the finish. I'd give it a few more years to develop additional levels of complexity before popping a bottle. 3,275 Views Tasted Nov 14, 2012 |
When to Drink Mas de Boislauzon, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Mas de Boislauzon can be enjoyed on the young side with 1-2 hours of decanting. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment.
Mas de Boislauzon is usually better with at least 5-7 years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage. In the best vintages, the wine should be consumed within 5-25 years after the vintage.
