Dark garnet core with slightly matte/rusty rim. At first very warm soil and meat driven aromatics with a somewhat lithe/closed palate. With air. Big warmed raspberry fruit that leaned toward baked but never became cooked in character. Herbs, sweet game and meat, more fresh soil and potpouri. Fantastic aromatics, not a hint of booze either (14.5%). Palate repeated nose with sweet fruit that never became stewy but pranced on the precipicee of profuse all night. Comfortably oppulent. Huge, mouthfilling, yet perfectly balanced with medium acidity and fine, well integrated tannins. Long. Outstanding. Had next to 2000 Bologna Ai Suma Barbera which seemed a tad try hard. Lamb Shanks were at home here. Really enjoyable wine. Lots of life ahead of it.

This was wonderful and was drank nect to Coquelet's '07 Chiroubles. The Lapierre won out with greater delicacy and persistence. A complete wine. Rocks and flowers with wonderfully sweet gamay fruit both aromatically and on the palate. Fresh a vibrant with tensity and verve to the long, savoury fruit. Beautiful and wish I had a case. Outstanding for it's utter drinkability.
