  August 20, 2023 - Dark, tannic, meaty. I thought this was a floral vintage in Northern Rhone!
  
  If you have a good cork, and cellar you should notice this wine still has trapped CO2 spritzig.

  January 29, 2023 - Structure mostly resolved. Nice tertiary character, softer on the mid-palate, I’d opt to pair with poultry/game birds over beef or lamb at this stage. Fine bottle but mature enough that I’m looking to drink up remaining bottle sooner rather than later.

  June 5, 2017 - Such purity. Pristine authentic Northern Rhone.
  
  Juicier fruit than 2005, lick of liquorice along with the floral cool climate notes, more forward than the 2005, though this is still impressively fresh and young at 11 years of age.
  
  Drink now, until 2027?

  April 11, 2017 - Aromas toward the smoked meats spectrum of Northern Rhone.
  
  Fresh, medium bodied yet still quite a tannic monster. Unfiltered.
  
  Needs some more time to blossom I think. It's not difficult to drink now with food, in spite of the tannin, it's just simple, closed.
  
  13%, cork.

  March 20, 2014 - By the glass at Bar Boulud, and disappointing, especially at $21/glass. Dark and inky, but not really showing much. And, it was the final pour of the bottle and I therefore assume had seen some air, and the stemware was fine. Just not that giving on the palate. Later, M. Jessen, two tables over, sent over a glass of 1966 Chateau Palmer, which was significantly better and I had to comment to my companion (RH) that that was not staged.
