Was a little nervous reading all these notes saying that this wine was on the decline as I still have several bottles left. I opened one and was "spooked" when the cork disintegrated. I decanted the wine though and the nose was wonderful. Bone dry. a hint of petrol and lime. nice minerality. a near perfect FE and showing no signs of decline in my opinion!

The nose was definitely cherry and strawberry. The wine defintely delivered on what the nose promisesd with the dominant flavor being the garrigue in addition to the fruit. I was concerned by the comments about the tannins outlasting the fruit but in this bottle the tannins were fine-grained and only moderate drying. This was wonderful!
