In the bouquet earth, mushrooms, forest flavors and chocolate. On the palate chocolate, red and dark berries, tea, beautiful acidity, coffee, tobacco, and also still lively and good fresh acidity. Really beautiful wine still.

Took about 4-6 hours of breathing (decanted) until the peaking acidity was integrated and the typical southern rhone taste developed. Before it didn't taste nice. Afterwards it was very good, nice tannins, good fruit, structured, integrated acidity, but didn't have something special.
-- I thought about it again and changed the rating from 87 to 85 points.

Monthly Tasting Group HWS #045; C9duP 1997-2001 (By BS & JH): Beautiful complex and mature bouquet. Red forest fruits, also strawberries. Lovely and tempting. Medium long finish with ripe bitterness.
