My last bottle. I wish I had more. It's really outstanding and has life left for sure. Presented similar to my last few bottles. Still has lots of fruit and tannins, nice acidity. A nicely balanced wine, with some complexity from the age. Very well made wine.

Cork was moldy on the top, but came out fine with a Durand and the wine is pure. Lovely wine at 22 years. Some forest mushrooms have shown up on the nose and palate since my last bottle, but in a subtle way that adds a lovely dimension to this wine. The wine (13% I think, but it's tiny print so I'm not certain) is nicely balanced and still has a good amount of fresh, delicious fruit. Some very fine tannins still linger on the long-ish finish. Great wine - reminds me a lot of aged Beaucastel CdP!

This wine has demonstrated significant bottle variation. This bottle was quite good with dark cherry and some quince on the nose with garrigue hints, lavender, leather. More on the palate. Still some soft tannins holding this wine together. Longish finish.

This wine is great and still has life left. It's in a nice drinking window now though. Tannins are still there, but not overpowering by any means. Lovely Mourvedre nose. It is medium bodied with a decent finish. Good stuff.
