Auction purchase. Cork went to dust. Chocolate covered cherries, with a bit of tannin on the finish and better than average length. Wish I had more. 91-92

Dark purple color. Plummy nose. Balanced and elegant, not overly tannic with lovely fruit. Dark fruit flavors with smoke, cigar box. Clearly benefitted from time in cellar, but ready to drink now and unlikely to benefit from more aging. Drank from magnum with under two hours of air first.

Savory Tertiary flavors...accompanied the main courses of a French tasting menu quite nicely.

Still singing. At peak and may stay here for a few years. Enjoy

Rose and blackberries on the nose. Tannins subdued at this point. Finish was olives and mineral. A very northern Rhone experience. Good value.
