Decanted 2hrs, With Spaghetti Bolognaise, then mature Cheddar. Really distinctive bacon fat on the nose. Still lots of fruit, with a lovely smooth mouthfeel. Fully mature, with tannins integrated, light - medium bodied. Shortish finish. Delicious.

Popped & poured. Drank over 2hrs, without food. Deep, dark colour. Nice nose of flowers and red fruits. Good acidic lift, nice cherries and raspberries on the palate. Lovely round mouthfeel with just a hint of backbone right at the finish. At its peak, I would say. Good.

Double decanted for 3hrs, light sediment in the bottle. With cheddar/bacon/apple salad. Opened as somthing lighter to go with the food, but this was a lot more full bodied than I expected. Dark colour, cherries and raspberries on the nose. Sweet attack with nice cherry/berry profile, good mid palate and medium finish. Deserved more than a salad! Try next time with duck. Good.

Fairly round and fruity, just lacking a little personality or pazzaz.

Slightly corked. No life left in it. Drinkable, but not enjoyable, so we abandoned it.

Soft fruity nose. Excellent soft structure with nice fruit.

Visit to Chapoutier: A rather closed nose.
