Closed and hot. One hour of decanting did'nt make any difference. Hopes its in a sleeping fase, but doubt it. Will try another in a year from now and decant it 2-3 hours

89+ still closed and still green notes from the CS. Wait 5 years and it will be 91-92 points. Can still hold for at least 10 years from now.

Very classic N. Rhone. Perfect year with coolness and still ripe and black fruit. Give it at least 1 hour in the decanter. Will drink very well for the next 5-7 years. 91+

Drinking beautifully right now. Plenty of fruit and very well integrated tannins. Worked fine with braised oxtails

Surprisingly thin and without much fruit left. Due the 2003 heat I dont think it can be cellarred for a long time. Probably over it's prime unfortunately, since I still have one left.

Closed - hopefully just for the moment. Will try again summer 2014

Decanted for 3 hours. A bit closed in the begining. BIG and lots of fruit, tobaco and anis. Nice tannis and excelent structure. Will age well for a decade.

Tight and tanic. Decanted for 2 hours closed and young - wait at least 3 years.

Decanted for an hour. Seems very closed and maybe over the hill. The last 1/3 tasted the next day, and now it was much better and more open. The rest of my bottles, will sleep in the cellar for the next two years - at this time I'm sure (hope) I would give it 90 points.
