Still has some punch to it, fortunately. Clear rim with amber colors but ruby gleaning thru the core in the glass. On the nose, rosemary, cinnamon, blueberry bramble & English walnut. On the pallet, baked plum, cranberry, Asian spice, slightly burnt toffee. Heat on the back of the throat. I’m pleasantly surprised this wine still shows ripe fruit - long finish. Drink now or soon to enjoy this balanced fruit/tertiary stage. I feel that it is at or just past it’s peak.

Rhone Dinner (Circus Private Kitchen, Kimberley Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong): No detailed notes but this was singing tonight and one of the best wines along with the Chapoutier Hermitage La Sizerane 1990 drank alongside it. Likely fully mature but doubt it will decline in the next 5+ more years. It went brilliantly with Moroccan food. Thanks for both wines, Olivier!

(Château La Nerthe Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée des Cadettes) Very dark red violet color; rich berry, dried berry, anise, baked berry, oak nose; ripe plum, baked berry, light menthol, oak, black fruit palate; medium-plus finish (youthful, but showing too much oak at this stage)
