PnP. ABV 13.5%. For a 28 years old wine, the color was really dark, looked like barely 10 years old. Subtle and clean nose, mostly floral notes with just a hint of herbal notes. Smooth and fine tannins, mostly softened. Slightly toward darker fruits, good acidity, and impeccable balance. Finished long with lingering tobacco ashes. A really impressive showing tonight to compliment roasted duck. This has at least another 10 to 15 years to go.

From a magnum. I didn't take detailed notes here and it was later in the evening, but overall I remember thinking good solid hermitage wine. Not quite with the meaty notes that I love in the Cote Rotie, but still an enjoyable wine.

Decanted 90 minutes. Very smooth. Went excellent with Steak, Mushrooms and Baked Potato.

This is a knockout. This wine is a super complex classy. High acidity and a long finish. Wish I had another!

Q4 2021 Wine Club: The Return with Aged Rhone (Our apt): Wine #10: Back to the good stuff. Lots of black fruit and more mineral notes. Drinks really well. (2 pennies)
