Nice and elegant to start, with great freshness and some fruit to hold off the tertiary elements closing in...it did a fair impression of aged Burgundy. However, it's clearly at the point where remaining bottles should be opened now, not a ton of energy left on the palate, but still a nice drink.

Cedar, pronounced tobacco. Red fruit, and a bit of tannins. Enjoyable on night 1. On night 2, only raisins remain. I've been impressed by the 1995 southern rhones (in contrast to the awful 1998s). Anybody agree?
3 on the AF scale.

Une très grande longueur en bouche, idéal sur un lièvre royal ou un gibier en sauce

Dark fruit (cherry, blueberry), spice, slight anise, slight floral, garrigue, slight tobacco. Lingering finish. Good acidity - well balanced. Really enjoyable.

Oxidised notes of spent fireworks with a touch of chocolate.
