  Not great to my taste, past it’s best. Very heavy sediment. Was my last bottle thankfully.

  Dark garnet. Classic northern Rhône Syrah with bottle age - bramble, cassis, black pepper, black olive, leather, smoke. Developing. Dry, fresh acidity, fine medium tannins, high acidity and full body but very well integrated, medium+ finish. Very good quality. Can be drunk now but has the fruit and structure to continue to develop. Personally I like the balance of primary and tertiary fruit now.

  Still relatively youthful colour. Dark fruit - cassis, bramble, pepper, leather, tapindade, hint of herbs. Developing. Medium+ fine tannins well integrated, high alcohol but doesn’t stick out at all, full body. Medium+ finish. This has plenty of life left in it. No hurry to drink and may develop further tertiary complexity. Very good quality.

  Opaque et trouble, bord encore assez jeune sans trop d'évolution. Nez serré, solaire, concentré (cassis terne, violette, cuir, discrète olive noire), un peu terne à mon sens, un peu strict; ces impressions reviennent en bouche, ou il se montre compacte et strict: l'attaque est presque douce, ample, mais tout de suite il resserre et rafraîchit. Besoin d'air!
  En fait, je ne sais pas dire s'il est au top de sa forme ou s'il evoluera favorablement, car c'est un peu court (m'a rappelé le style Yann Chave sur son Hermitage 2009)
  89/91?

  Sharp red fruit and plums, nice tannic balance.
