Great and ready to drink now. Opened four hours in advance, decanted just before serving blind to guest, next to Graillot Guiraude 2010. This started very tertiary and then faded a bit on the nose. Never really came back, even with air. Taste was good and intense, showing much more depth. Very meaty and with nice dried fruit and rose leaves. Long and fresh on the palate, without being heavy in any sense. A lovely glass of wine, but not a blockbuster vintage or wine. Drink up, within the next 5 years.

Fantastic showing for this wine. Opened four hours in advance for small taste. Decanted just before serving blind to guest, nex to Allemand Cornas Chaillot 2011. Surprisingly young with deep red color. The nose was primary fruit, both red and black. Notes of garriques and black peber coming around. Floral and then the meaty backbone. Came together in the glass and the fruit was really precise and clean. Still fine potential, if I had more I would keep until 2027 before next bottle.

Fresh and elegant with crisp acidity. Not a big wine, but very typical of Ramonet with all elements pointing in his direction.
