Surprisingly good! Smooth and well integrated. Maybe not at its peak, but still delicious. We were afraid it might have been over the hill, so we’ve been putting off opening it, but it did not disappoint. Decanted carefully, as there was a fair bit of sediment. We made sure to finish the bottle, because we didn’t think it would be as good on day 2!

If you still have this in your cellar, drink it! Popped and poured, and it is beautiful. Still has a solid structure, but well integrated. Dark red fruit and baking spices on the nose, with hints of anise and light tar. In the mouth, it's pie cherry and cassis, with just enough acid to get your mouth watering and to balance the smooth tannins and fruit. Finish is long, with smooth leather notes. Beautifully integrated and delicious. Sorry that this is the last one we have.

Lovely expression of this Rhone style. Probably would benefit from a bit more time to integrate.
