  And it turns out that the last bottle was NOT a fluke... Just lovely, and for me back to the high peaks of earlier years of this wine.

  Surprise! This really is good. The 09, 08, 07 and 06 were NOT, but this hits the spot. Sweet fruit, and definitely interesting. Will last too, but why wait? Enjoy the fruit now, becuase when it goes the alcohol will hit you.

  Very young, raw and tannic, but also quite fresh. This is the dark side of Ventoux, and while one probably should hold this, I am not convinced, this will become much better. A food-wine, certainly, steaks from the grill...

  PopnPour, tasted over 2 hrs
  -nearly opaque dark red purple tinge
  -some reduction funk, meaty
  -med/med+ acidity gives good tension, med weight dark berry black pepper and sausage, a bit of licorice and med tannins on clipped finish
  -decent and probably at or near peak, very much on the savory side, a bit like a baby Cote-Rotie with the syrah component very prominent
