Still a lovely southern rhone. Has lots of depth of flavor. Tobacco, earth, a bit of spice, which both shows on the nose and the palate. Probably nearing the end of the road, and should be drunk up in the next year, I suspect.

It opened quite different than before. Incredibly spicy! But after 15-20 min that blew off almost completely and it was much more like the previous bottles. Earth and tobacco on the nose and the palate.

Couleur intense, jeune. Fruité, cerise surtout, kirsch, épices, eucalyptus, bois, vanille. Typique d'un vin du sud du Rhône. Plein en bouche, fruit et tanins bien présents. Gagnerait à vieillir encore quelques années. Très bon.

Too weird, even for me.

Over the hill or off bottle - odd flavor profile on nose (secondary fermentation in bottle?) that dissipated with time but not entirely. NR.
