This bottle seemed to be at its apex in terms of drinkability... not that it wouldn't maintain itself there for a handful of years... but if you have a number of bottles... time to give this a taste.

Rich, earthy/vegetative nose - plum, Maraschino cherry and molasses. Maybe a touch of VA? Warm, stewed and sweet red fruit, dusty tannins and tar on back palate. Long balsamic and gingerbread finish. Lovely depth, perfectly aged CndP.

Light and elegant. Lovely sweet Grenache, white pepper, some tertiary notes. Great purity, no hard edges, a joy to drink.

Very light and elegant, very much Grenache en danseuse, no hard edges, unforced, relaxed, charming and sexy. Mature.
