Sweet fruity nose of dark berries, hints ofsmoked sausage and acetone. Dense and packed with fruit, some earth aromas. Rather heavy and with high alcohol but overall in good place with great balance. Full bodied with a very long finish. Felt more mature than any of the other 4 in this flight. Again hard do pin down as this seems to be a rather light version CdP. Tasted blind. 93p

Not as good as last time around, though it had tougher competition this time and was scrutinized more intensely.
Lots of fruit, blackcurrants, dark sweet cherries, root beer (or more correctly, julmust), dried fruit, some bay leaves and a little herbs. Not the most complex nose of the night. High acidity, but balanced by a sweetish fruit. No tannins to speak of and a long, but slightly warm finish. Lacking a bit of elegance, but still very, very tasty!

(ROGER SABON LE SECRET DES SABON CHATEAUNEUF DU PAPE) #3; COLOR-dark; NOSE-explosive, dusty charcoal smokiness mixed w/ a beautiful sweet cherry jam, extremely extracted, viscous, pure fruit. ; TASTE-kicking my face in w/ a power drill of fruit, shocked by complexity, maturity & drinkability at such a young age; will easily last 20-30 years EASY, but is bringing the thunder today, a complete palate coater, black pepper & cedar box, as good as CdP gets, completely spectacular ; RP-95; GV-96+

Debatable, but slightly corked, I think.

CH9 semi blind vertical tasting of Pegau, Beaucastel and Salon 1990-2009 (Nordsjaelland): Lots of farmyard. No caramel at all like I found in the other two vintages from Roger Sabon. Seems like Secret de Sabon develops faster than Pegau and Beaucastel as the tertiary notes are more prominent
