  Complex wine and nothing of a blockbuster. I opened the bottle 30 minutes before drinking and it was a bit subdued at first but gotter better (and longer) with time and air.
  Definitely drinking well now. I would suggest opening at least one hour before drinking or giving a short decant.

  Brilliant bottle (from magnum), everything Northern Rhone is about; smokey, meaty, bacon, black fruit, hint of licorice. Medium+ acidity, medium+ tannins, long finish. So full, elegant. 94-95

  This was tasted blind. But I guessed it as a top quality N Rhône and was not wrong. Good smoky and meaty notes which continues on the palate but still ended with a degree of elegance which I hope for from this type of wine. At its peak and would drink now.
