Very old vines Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. The old Grenache shows here: the fruit is holding up very well, it is sweet and dense, there’s kirsch here. Pepper and garrigue notes underneath. Quite good Neuf from the time when spécial cuvées started to enter the scene. While there probably isn’t more to come, there is no hurry to drink up either.

Drank over three days and the wine just kept getting more approachable each day. Brick red suggests the age it is. Wild forest strawberries, spice and rum cake on the nose. Intriguing nose. Resolved tannin and long, long finish. So enjoyable now but easy five year left.

At Boston Wine & Poker: Tasted blind. Sweet, rich, slightly wild. A treat. Drink soon.
Many thanks to Karl for providing this one.

*1st night drinks great. Nice fruit in a good way.
*2nd night fades fast.
See how this will develop. Could go either way, from prior posts.

Fading since the last bottle, definitely time to drink up.
