Monday, August 16, 2021 - From Dad's cellar. He chose this for the meal of Civet de Lapin and chicken a la Henriette. This is the best bottle I can remember of this wine (he had a lot of this wine, so we've enjoyed it quite a few times the last few years). Still relatively youthful in appearance apple red. Gained weight with an hour in the glass and was just outstanding example of R-S. I love this wine with meats with sauce because of the floral element it has and just enough fruit to give it some mix of primary, secondary and tertiary aromas and flavors. This one had low neck fill, moderate sediment. Interestingly, it did lose something overnight (we had a little bit left day 2) but it was still good and with a nice long and soft finish. I would say drink now for this wine as it's not likely to improve but some bottles if well stored as these have been probably have more life left than others. 95
