March 10, 2020 - This is why you age Levet. After about 20 minutes the funk blows off and what’s left is a core of sweet red fruit that still maintains its animale and olive notes. After 3 hours in a decanter, darker olive notes begin to take over, likely showing that this is moving in a similar direction as a 98 drink last year. Gorgeous and in a flight of most 04 Rhônes that matter bettered only by the Reynard.
