    January 7, 2024 - Flawed - poured brown, smelled and tasted oxidized. Decanted to be sure but knew immediately it was bad. No change with air. Have another bottle, hope it turns out better but given the shared provenance I'm not optimistic.

    December 30, 2023 - Lyon Holiday Open House (Where Else?): This was a great old bottle! Last tried this 17 years ago! Here's that one:

    3/17/2006 rated 90 points: Purple to the rim and a grapey, primary nose with some underbrush notes that I ascribe to grenache (and I like it!). Good depth and more integrated than the basic '03 Paul Autard. Wait at least 6 mos. (4795 views)

    No surprise that it's the lightest wine of the night with a garnet bowl and a nearly clear meniscus. It's beautifully evolved with Kirsch, garrigue, underbrush, kelp and leather all sitting on a very nice structure. Well stored, this can go another 5 years if you like "old" wine/tertiary notes.

    April 9, 2022 - A bit more balanced and complex than a couple of years ago, but nevertheless jammy and alcoholic.
    Drink up.

    July 11, 2021 - Popped and poured. Good but not great. Past peak. Cloudy and unsettled. Still a fair bit of fruit, but clearly fading. Drink up!

cinghiale in agrodolce, to jammy to be a good food companion. Maybe boudin noir
