Community Tasting Note

  • asgerG wrote: 94 points

    January 13, 2015 - D20min. Garnet red, yellow rim, 5. Perfectly mature complex ripe bouquet, intense red berries, garrigue, farmyard....
    Harmonious intense palate, fully resolved tannins, tobacco in the finish. Drink now onwards. What a surprise, this outshone the 2001 on the day!

    That's a pretty score for a VT. Also a nice TN I think.
    I wish the same good thing for my only bottle on its 20th anniversary.
    Cheers!

    If your bottle is in good condition like the ones I have tasted the last two years you can expect a wonderful experience. However, why not enjoy it now when you know it is peaking?
    Cheers

    Understanding what you mean actually my personal taste chooses my bottles when they're a little over the hill. My choice, you know.
    Anyway I've to say ChdP I had in the past but it wasn't very good for me. That's why I'm looking for something new, including really madure southern Rhone wine.
    I'll tell you how it evolves on 2019 or so.
    Cheers!
