Just adding an update for the community. While southern rhones from 99 do not seem to be heading in a great direction based on my tasting of late, the ones that have excessive oak have really closed and dried up IMHO. This wine was likely never made along those lines, it has aged rather well. It's not nosediving, but it should be enjoyed soon.

Fresh, crushed raspberry, spicy clove, mushroom, iodine and a touch of leather. Rather light on body and fruit flavor. A nice crisp, red-fruited, spicy finish. Nothing special but a good Tuesday night wine.
