  Sweet fruit and balanced structure with round mouthfeel. A crowd pleaser, but not very solid wine.

  Birthday Sunday lunch (McLeay Street Bistro, Potts Point): From Coravin. Woof, obvious Brett on this bottle - all farmyard and horse shit intially - but with air the other aromas and flavours join in, softening to show saucisson, brambles, leather, meaty and savoury, really good with Chateaubriand and Paris mash. Long.

  Decanted for one hour. Delicious jammy, classic Rhone wine. Surprisingly good. Well balanced tannins and acidity.

  Lots of blueberries, dense, heavy, extremely concentrated, almost New World style - would have guessed Australia, probably. Needs another ten years (from my cellar, at least)- and then we will have to see - I have my doubts, honestly.

  Une bouteille encore dans sa jeunesse. Tout d’abord offrant un profil bourguignon avec des arômes fruités croquants mais aussi épices (poivre) et une robe rubis, le vin à à gagé en densité (robe grenat violine) et en bouche avec jus voluptueux et suave. Bue sur 3 soirs et pour moi la bouteille n’a été que meilleure au fil de son aération (bouteille conservée au réfrigérateur dans sa bouteille avec bouchon mais sans rechercher le vide d’air). Une bouteille qui a 10 ans devant elle… à suivre.
