Fresher than the previous bottle. Smoke, meaty and earthy notes but at the same time very elegant. There’s almost a Burgundian touch on the nose and palate. Very enjoyable.

Started to blossom after 15mn. A little tired, definitely showing its age. Floral, ripe red fruits fruits, meaty. Showing a feminine profile. Very enjoyable but have seen better days.

Various Wines @ Salil's (Vernon, CT): Lovely mature fruit aromas with a hint of pine, spice, fire pit and minerals. Elegant and fine... full of energy and verve for it's age. There's a lot going on here and I would love to have this with braised meats on a winter night.

Weekend drinks at my place (Vernon, CT): Pretty much all I could want in an mature Northern Rhone. A wow from the fragrance alone, which combines all sorts of meaty, leathery, floral and red fruited flavours into a wonderful scent, and it's still remarkably fresh and vibrant in the mouth with bright acidity keeping it very lively and fresh. With time more spicy and autumnal forestal elements emerge, and it's a wonderful wine to sit down with and follow.
