Gorgeous dusty tannins, tangy and vibrant red fruits (I disagree with those who find Cazetiers replete with black fruits). The nose tells the story that unfolds in the glass over several hours. Just lovely!

What a wine treat! First of 6 bottles purchased at auction, with sunken corks. An esoteric lot, for sure. After cellaring for 8 weeks, I decided to open around noon today in anticipation of dinner. This wine flourished throughout the day, and by dinner, it was all silk-velvet-lace-cherries. Absolutely stunning! And more demonstrative and silky than the reticent 05 Roty Griotte I opened a year ago.... Reading the comments below, they make sense as I tasted the LeClerc Griotte throughout the day. But even a 1996 requires air and patience. Not a pop and pour; class in a glass.

Hits the spot! Upon opening, the nose tells the whole story. An hour of air is all that is needed to fully enjoy... for hours. An excellent wine for the money
