No notes. Not decanted. Quite tannic initially but after 30-45 minutes hard edges softened. Full-bodied. Not sure if it will improve but no indication of decline. Very good (so low-90s according to CT guidance, I suppose).

A small glass using Coravin. Served at 12C. Swirled in the glass and drank immediately, with fresh bread and a few Moroccan olives. More straw than gold. Appealing bouquet that, unhelpfully, I couldn't quite distinguish. Initially on the light side, took on considerable weight in the glass. Rich and complex flavour profile with a long finish. I have little experience of twenty year old white Rhone, but this seems mature without being at all tired. 95 ('Grade A - Outstanding')
