  Was expecting the worst based on reviews.
  
  Great cork and pop upon opening. Decanted. Bottle was in the fridge (long story) so needed time to warm up. First sip, old moldy socks, maybe was past. However after an hour in the decanter the funk blew off and the usual Cote Rotie vibe unfurled. Remainder was quaffed rather quickly. Wished I had let breath 3 hrs, would have been far better.
  
  Nice pleasant surprise. All at my poker group were enamored. ))

  Much better vs the 1998 opened last night. Fully mature with earthy aromas and flavors fully Complementing the black fruits. Bits of leather, herbs de provence, black pepper and braised meat add to the nuance here. The’98 was backward, this is nearing the end of its peak drinking window.

  Brick rim, ruby center, medium body, notes of smoke, black olives, spices, leather & steamed veggies, sweet with a lengthy finish. Very complex nose, just wonderful. Pull the corks as the wine is at it’s peak where it may hold another 5 years.

  I think it's probably at its peak right now. Savory and floral. Wide open.
