Houston Northern Rhone Blowout: Thankfully, this bottle was in perfect shape. Considerable evolution compared to the current release, but it has held together nicely, lots of interest, developing a little bit of nattiness still with plenty of red to blue fruit. This is drinking delightfully today.

Based on the other notes, this would appear to be a bad bottle. A bit sherried, lacking in fruit. Some caramel but significantly more advanced than I was expecting. Drinkable though, and since it’s Prevost we did. I’ve had the 12 Climax which was in far better shape. Hopefully just an off bottle..

Complex autolytic yeasty nose with ripe pear/apple, cream and a subtle herbal leafiness. Lovely texture, rich but very fresh, very discreet fine mousse. Intense and acidic but with a balancing roundness on the palate, finishes with terrific energy, drive and length. Superb.

Stunning. Just in a perfect spot. Quite sleek and energetic for Meunier. Surprisingly even worked well with oysters. I’d say this is at apogee but should be there for several years.

I continue to really enjoy these; earthy, spicy, long and delicious. I wish this hadn't gotten so expensive as I would love to pick up more.
