About 2 years since my last bottle. This is over the hill. Possibly some TCA as this was lacking in fruit but was otherwise alive. My last bottle was very good and my note said drink up so it’s hard to tell what went wrong here. Either way, these should be consumed as these are beginning their decline.

Definitely a better bottle then my last one in 2019 that tasted well past prime. This bottle was vibrant and well balanced. Lacking in complexity but pleasant. Paired well with wild Alaskan King salmon. This is in its prime and should be consumed in the near term. Revisit 2023

Very charming, round and seductive. Pure cherry with woody spice. Tannins are all resolved into velvet-like backbone. Very light-footed mouthfeel. This is so beautiful now and should keep for pretty long time.

2 hour decant- everything is there except concentration. Perfect cork and unlikely an off bottle. Likely just village level wine. Probably past prime but will provide pleasure for a few more years. I’ll drink my last two within a year.

Nice freshness, sweetness and intensity. I don't rate Rouget, but this performed well.
