Double decanted off quite a lot of sediment a couple of hours before consumption with a lamb and aubergine stew. Fully mature, gently spiced, red fruited and well balanced. Penultimate bottle, in a good place not sure it will go places so will probably drink up in the next few years.

tertiary, savoury, complex and the fruit just about departed. Enjoyable but I think I would have liked it more 5 years ago

Une autre bouteille en pleine forme lors de cette magnifique dégustation. Le nez, la bouche est riche, beaucoup de cerise rouge bien mure sans tomber dans le confit, un boisé présent mais élégant, légère touche fumée, acidité moyenne et tannins a point, une chaleur/rondeur typique des Chateauneuf sans aucune perception d'alcool. Tout est bien intégré et équilibré, un grand Chateauneuf dans son sweet spot en ce moment. Délicieux !

From magnum courtesy of Gigabit. One of the top wines in the lineup that night. Garnet color. The tannins were holding up very well and there was no sign of decline in this wine. Round texture with notes of garrigue, twizzlers, smoke and raw meat. This was up there among the best La Crau's that I have had which includes the 1985, 1995, 2000, 2001 and 2006. 94 points.

From magnum courtesy of gigabit. Opens with a nice Rhone funk followed by an abundance of red berry fruit. Softened tannins and acidity. Red fruit and garrigue elements with a lingering finish. Developed a terrific meaty quality with air. Drinking well with plenty of life in this format. 93+ pts.
