Surprising for older CdR I have had for over 8 years in the cellar. Tasters at blind tasting were impressed that it had aged so well.

This time (2016) and previous time (2010), it markedly improved after sitting overnight. But still alive and drinking well.
I've had this before and it was much better. This bottle was, well, flat. Not much to it other than decent mouthfeel and a touch of spice.
Corked.
This was clumsier and heavier than the 2006 Guigal CdR. Richer, but in no way better. There are much better values in Rhone.
