Starts off a tad reserved with leather, violets and black pepper. Once it opens everything is amped up. The palate is deep, bloody and showing gobs of complex flavors. So beautifully balanced and composed. There is an elegant density to the mature flavors. Fantastic!

Gorgeous nose and one that takes you straight to Northern Rhone. Nose is darker red fruits, olive tapenade, touch of florals and pepper. On the palate this shows a bit more youthfully with plenty of weight, length and fruit to balance the fine and polished tannins. There’s great acidity on the backend keeping the profile lively and vibrant. The finish is long and silky. In a great place now but has the stuffing to continue aging gracefully for many more years.

Library release / new label. Excellent bottle. Completely classic. Tons of black olive.

Magnifique, enivrant, j'aurais pu siffler la bouteille tout seul.
