Last bottle was very nice with big fruit and secondary flavors. For those that have this wine I would say it has at least 3-5 more years of prime time.

Lighter bodied than I recalled. Despite 14.5% alcohol has become a somewhat delicate, cherry-flavored wine. Nice acidity. Just past its peak, I think. Does not seems to have the stuffing to last much longer. Very enjoyable. I have one more bottle which I will drink this year.

Phenomenal for its price level. Drank really well within a selection of other Rhone wines, this one stood out. Tobacco, leather, bay leaves, garrigues, still some fruit and lovely minerality and acidity, very lively wine probably at its peak now.

this has finally integrated, the sweet and savory elements working in harmony instead of providing counterpoint. Minerality and balance really coming through on day 2. The baby fat has melted away and the sweetness is diminished. This helps this wine to integrate with the savory oak elements. Excellent length medium tannins.
