Weekly tasting group #158; A mixed set of red wines. (@ My place): In the bouquet tea, leather rust and celery. On the palate a very mature wine with chocolate, chamomile tea, a lot of sweet spiciness, ok acidity and also a firm dose of sweetness. The tannin is completely melted. The wine is still drinkable and even a pleasure, but in fact too old now. Should have been drunk 5 years ago. No score.

final bottle...still rich full fruit although one in our party found it too ripe/rich....perhaps a tad too full and not altogether pure with some of the usual Rhone funk....still enjoyed all these bottles

Initial barnyard stink that eventually blew off to reveal still very sweet and full fruit. Drunk a bit fast b/c we had to get to the opera and would have loved to linger
