Decanted for four hours. One of the more complex, and interesting, C9Ps in my experience. Smokey Grenache notes of red raspberries; rich perfume from the Mouvedre. It took a little time in the glass for the alcohol to settle down, but overall this was a wonderful bottle of wine.

Outstanding wine. Slow O'd for a couple of hours, decanted for one. Perfect drinking window; nicely balanced: neither too jammy nor too austere, and lovely with food.

Drank with 2007 Favier. Both superb, but Giraud topped it. Wow.

I am going to suggest holding off for a few years

Not as good as last bottle but still outstanding. Balance was lightly out of kilter, but otherwise wonderful
