  15 years in the box, my final btl of this. Really remarkably lovely spot-on aged N Rhone. Dark fruits, mushrooms, smoked brisket, and gobs of iron. Some dried flowers on the finish. Really polished. This has aged very well and held up much better than I would have expected given its humble breeding and the vintage. Did I really buy this for $19?!

  Open in the bottle for about an hour or two. Nose is seductive with old library books, cherries, dried blueberries, a bit of clayey earth. Palate is alive, juicy and fresh despite being 20 years old. More juicy red cherries and blackberries, hint of leather, baking spices. Not life-changing but really quite delicious and in a good spot.

  The 4th time I have had this wine and my last bottle. We drank this next to a 2006 Delas Hermitage which I liked better. Decanted 2 hours before drinking. Crimson color. Moderately sedimented. The cork came out easily. Notes of Cherries and bacon fat. Loose tannins. 90 points

  Seriously?! Gorgeous nose of dark plums, mushrooms, soy sauce, and just a little bit of brett. Very soft and silky in the mouth. Very classic and typical for an aged northern Rhone. That I paid $19 for this at K&L back in the day is ridiculous. I do not know the Domaine, but this is stupid good and keeps getting better. On a cold gray night, this is lovely.

  Just found three bottles (oops!) Remarkably fresh fruit over subtle tannins. A beautifully balanced Cote-Rotie. No doubt not the brute it once was, but a joy. Like a well made pinot noir. Drink up!
