Best bottle I've had of this. Some were undrinkable and others just ok with an alcoholic bite. However, this bottle was drinking well and the heat seems to have integrated over the last couple of years.

Can't really tell if a bad bottle or completely gone. We have had problems with several of these, and I think given the over-extracted, hot 2003 year in the Rhone, it is the wine, rather than bad bottles.

Delicious, needed a good hour to open up and I had bought it up from the cellar a few days previously. Still delicious the secend eve. 3 bottles left and I think I can keep them for a while.

Excellent, sweet and ripe with lovely provencal herb hints on the nose along with cherry and currant fruit. Long and complex on the palate - this was delicious. Glad I have another bottle.

Great depth of colour and powerful nose of purple fruits, petal and a touch of black jack (those 1p sweets of old). Mouthfilling and quite viscous, nose follows through to the palate, and finish is good with medium length.
