Took 30-60 minutes to open up. Lovely dark & meaty fruit, elegant and precise structure, concentrated, spicy and bright. Very good, still quite youthful but drinking well.

Commanderie des Costes du Rhone - Spring 2023 Kick-off (Gabriel Kruether): My WOTN. Many thanks to Nick for sharing. It was just excellent. All black fruits and lavender and spices and everything perfectly integrated. I would have thought it might come across as young but not at all. Truly beautiful.

More aged than the ‘99 served alongside. Library leather but no barnyard funk. Stewed red fruit. 95-96

Commanderie des Costes du Rhone - Fall 2022 Intronization (Aquavit): Some elegance. Darker red fruits. Well structured. Very classic. Pour towards the end of the bottle so it was almost a touch chunky but it was still tasty.
