We've had this cellared for the past decade. We drank a number of bottles early on and thought they were fairly good. This was our last bottle of this vintage. We decanted it (quite a bit of sediment) and let it breathe for a couple of hours.
This wine was beautiful and certainly not outside it's drinking window. The nose was sublime. The taste was subtle with wonderful lingering minerality. I'm not sure how much longer the wine will last but as of March of 2021, it was in fine form.

Still drinking really well!! I opened this to pair with a filet mignon the first night. It went really well as expected: very smooth, classic traits of a Rhone with some age on it. Four days later (yes, 4!), I finished it with baked penne, and it was still quite nice. Great wine.

Lots going on here. Dark red/purple to the rim. Plenty of dark fruit on the nose, some leather and spice. Rich full palate, some jammy flavors, with a decent amount of tannins and acidity. I think it needs more time to come together completely, it is still unbalanced.
