  Absolutely on song. Lovely wine, with fruit and complexity. Great Thalabert.

  An interesting one, this... it's mostly faded, leaving not a great deal except acidity, but given that it didn't feel at all tired, just somewhat... thin. Those flavours and aromas that remain were predictably evolved: sundried tomato, ketchup, leather, blackcurrant jam, damp earth. Went well with food, given the acidity, but a bit too mature to fall in love with otherwise. Definitely not a wine to serve to beginners!

  Definitely in slow decline, but also my last. Drink up!

  It appears I am going to make a similar note to someone else who was pretty unexcited by it 12 years ago! The colour was great. But everything else just dull. Little fruit, hardly noticeable acidity and did not improve over the hour it was open. A real disappointment.

  What a pleasure to find classic Jaboulet, even if it considered to be from the latter years of the family running it.
  Colour: med red, med rim, brown tinge.
  Nose: elegant, delightfully mature with classic pepper rather than modern fruit bomb flavours.
  Taste: med body, smooth, well resolve tannins, builds with time, good fruit and long finish.
  Overall, a delight in an old fashioned style. Elegant and smooth.
