This has been a very problematic producer for this vintage. Decanted for c 1.5 hours. Again some rather unpleasant medicinal fumes taste. But got better as evening proceeded. Drunk alongside 2003 Clos des papes and 1999 Pegau Feter c 4 hours this wine became drinkable. In summary all 6 bottles have ranged from being undrinkable to very hard work.

Opened for c 1.5 hours before tasting. This is very lively and intense. Very pleasant but will probably benefit from another year or two in the cellar

Opened for 2 hours before drinking at Club. Very likeable. Approachable now and will probably improve with age
