94 Points

Saturday, January 19, 2008 - This wine is drinking great right now! The nose was earthly with some black fruits and mushrooms. The wine looked thin (like pinot noir's sometimes do) but the palette exploded with sweet cherry and black fruit and a stong, pleasurable white pepper on the back end. Finish was impressive, lasting 20-30 seconds. Incredible when I look back and see I spent $25/bottle on this. I don't have any idea what the 2005 is selling for. But I must admit, after having this bottle, what is better than an aged rhone wine, especially in superb vintages like 98? Gotta give this around a 94. Great bottle of wine.
