Fully mature and this bottle was perhaps a bit tired. Still quite delicious and complex, but missing a note of lift and vibrance that would have helped it be really excellent.
A touch of tropical fruits coming through - but not with the brightness you'd typically find. This moved more roasted nuts, brioche - with a breadth of palate and roundness. Great length, still in balance, a nice wine.

(CdV) Bien evolué, marqué par une oxydation propre aux vieux millésimes de ce VV, mais qui se dissipait en mangeant de façon presque magique! Là d’un coup, le vin virait sur le tilleul et la bergamote, la Roussanne reprenant ses droits (une lotte sauce ecrevisse) et delaissant ses défauts aromatiques du premier nez. Tout s’harmonisait en mangeant, le terroir salin offrant du relief, de la finesse, de la légèreté… Un vrai vin de gastronomie ! A boire donc, il ne gagnera pas plus bien évidemment.

Much more oxidized than last time I had it. Still
Palate was quite nice but less tropical and more on tertiary notes. Different but quite nice.

Decent minerality but a bit sweet
