Very pleasurable, and elegant; more red fruited vs black and had that trademark screechy acidity. Good development here with some cherries, smoky tapenade, barnyard and earth. Obviously doesn’t hail from a blockbuster year but still nice to have tasted it. Legs to go further but I wouldn’t bother.

Jason's birthday: A bit closed on the nose but better on the palate. Clearly a cooler year and less ripe than most of the wines preceding. Complex even if not super aromatic.

Jason's birthday: The savoury, smoky bell pepper notes made it obvious that this was another northern Rhone, guessed cool vintage Jamet or Allemand like '04. Pleasant and resolved, but lacked the oomph to be a top wine.

The same wild bramble/spice nose as the younger versions of this wine on the table tonight, there is definitely a kinship to the wines from this place and this winemaker's hand. Palate is on the somewhat lighter side, lovely still, leaning more cherry than dark berry notes, resolving fairly well at this middle age. Lovely wine, though maybe a step behind the others tonight.

Double-blind. Just an okay wine, probably under-delivered for the reputation and price.
