Decanted 1 hour, notes from memory. Dark robe. Somewhat subdued but savoury nose. Brisk attack, somewhat muddled mid-palate with fine drying tannins on a moderate final. I found this pleasant enough but lacking in focus to give it any kind of memorable signature.

Aged well from 2006. Soft tannins, some fruit left, full flavor.

Probably the best bottle of this I've had. Still only mediocre.

Better day two, rough edges smooth out and fruit really shows through; black cherry, sage, violets, typical Rhone.

Palate with fig and coffee notes, but the nose is subdued and very mellow overall. Sleek and refined, but lacking something.
