Amazing nose of leather and sweet spice - mesmerising. But on the palate lacked acidity and was quite volatile - one moment it was 94 points and then 87 the next sip. Definitely drink up - a pleasure to taste 20 y o Rhone though.

Served directly from the cellar ie too cold. When opening up showing nice still youthful fruit of dark berries, touch of brett and the expected pepper only showing in the aftertaste. Tannins still chewy. My only bottle but this will drink well another few years.
