Dark nose of liquorice, violet, tea leaves, bramble, tobacco and Earth. Brighter, lighter palette of stewed cherry and cranberry. Abrupt finish but still packed enough of a punch to hold up to Porchetta with Shitake risotto. Drink over the next couple of years.

Fully mature now I think. Funky, wild nose. Tertiary marks on the palate, very little fruit left. Cool, upright, lean body. Potentially past peak. Drink up.

So, as my last note in 2015 said this was not done yet, but here we are in July 2016 and stick a fork in it, it is done. Still drinkable but nothing like the previous experiences with this delicious bottle from a great producer. Drink up and put food with it and you will probably not notice it is a little past prime. As a side note, I opened the 2005 "Cotes du Py" from this producer 3 weeks AFTER this one and it absolutely ROCKED. It was drinking great!
This has lost its primary fruit characteristics but doesn't show much complexity or tertiary marks and comes across as a bit dull. It might be in awkward stage or maybe it should have been drunk up years ago. I can tell from my notes that I was impressed with this wine back in 2010. Have a few more bottles left that I will sleep for a while longer.

(Marcel Lapierre Morgon) Nice to taste the ni ni and no ni ni cuvees side by side. You really get a sense of the difference. There was vivid red fruits but they were less defined. It was just as ripe as the ni ni but just less focused and less pure.

Shockingly tight from magnum. Understated and lovely
