  Gorgeous nose, floral and leathery, olives, delicately meaty, dried fruits... meaty and earthy, tannins resolved, tangy acids, not especially gratifying on the palate, but lots of classic Syrah character, a pleasure to drink. Have it with fatty lamb. Probably best in the next 5 years, might have been better a few years ago, based on this showing I wouldn't push this long in the cellar.

  Très bien.
  Un peu stricte, a bien tenu à l’air et était encore très bonne après 48 heures.

  Popped and poured, and drank over two hours. Immaculate bottle. Right in the prime of its drinking window. For me it was the right balance of maturity and settled fruits. Right up there with the 96 Ch. Margaux we drank alongside it.

  11th of 12, decanted 30 minutes, perfect cork and level - going from strength to strength, classic and classy, superb balance and surprisingly energetic at nearly 30, very typical, rich plum almost compote, some smoke and mineral, complex, fine lift, plateau, 8+ years. VF (18.5)......Jaboulet falls apart by 98!

  Mixed TN's on here - but my bottle was in incredible condition (barely any sign of cork issues), and this was truly on fire. Incredible range of meat, game, blood, red fruits, spice, and very good earth notes.
  
  Loved it!
