Decanted 2 hours because prior glass that was coravined gave indications this wine could use a year or two more aging or more air to better integrate the tasty though competing notes. Conclusion: Not so much.
Nose: moderate aromatics of red cherries and rustic notes.
Body: Nicely primary with some herbaceousness I was hoping would better integrate. Dirty cherries and raspberry notes. Texture softens as it gains body but never hits a higher gear overall. Nice long finish. Savory and enjoyable wine if a bit primary.

Decanted 2 hours before sampling where it was a bit disjointed. Needed the 3rd hour of air before settling into fine form.
Nose: rapidly evolving following the decant; mushrooms, ripe strawberries with a hint of caramel that blew off.
Body: Full-bodied with flavorful plums and currants balanced delightfully against rustic brown leaves and red clay notes.
Finish: 60+ seconds of deliciousness.
A wine showing great character on the day especially against the more fully integrated and balanced 1999 Delas Frères Hermitage Les Bessards.

Decanted for 2 hours but sampled along the way.
Nose: Balanced aromas. Fresh red fruits with gentle rustic notes.
Body: Rich plums, notes of pine and cinnemon; Ready to go (consumption-wise). Balanced texture: smooth with gentle minerality.
Finish: 45 seconds and savory.
A far more consistent performer next to the 2002 Guigal Ampuis. I gave both Rhones the same numeric score but any professional critic would have given the nod to the Delas. My personal bias is the flavor profile of the Guigal though. 3 votes for Wine of the Night.

Late entrant, decanted ~1.5 hours after the Rhones and hit its stride at the 2 hour mark.
Nose: Soft, gentle notes of raspberries.
Body: Elegant wine (but give it the full 2 hours of air); smooth texture and balanced red fruit notes. Easy drinking and more approachable. A crowd pleaser.
Finish: Medium length and enjoyable.
This "Southern Rhone" blend from Paso Robles was a fun and tasty complement to the Northern Rhones. 3 Votes for Wine of the Night which speaks to "all wine tasting is personal" and the bias of any amateur scorer as I had this a notch below the Rhones yet it was clearly a strong performer to the crowd.

Decanted 2 hours although we checked in from time-to-time.
Nose: concentrated aromas of dark fruits. A fun contrast to the Rhones.
Body: Full-bodied with balanced dark fruit notes -- Cherries against blackberries with red currants. More fruit and less earthy than a big Napa Cabernet Sauvignon which makes sense considering this was a "Right Bank" blend. Continued to soften with more air and was best at the 3 hour mark.
Finish: Medium length finish of red fruits. Youthful.
The actual blend was a bit of a debate as there is apparently confusion as to some of the source material. I think this was 55% Merlot, 25% Cab franc, 5-10% Cab Sauvignon, and then a blend of Viognier/Gewurztraminer (only because I was told these grapes were in there).
