Pop and pour. Last of three bottles, best showing by far with big furry tannins, plush black fruit, nice acid. A lot of these Garagiste wines need lots of cellar time but then turn out magnificent, especially for the price, but I've opened most of them way too early.

The bottle was ever so lightly corked with a whiff of the signature scent on the cork on opening. Ever so faint corked scent in the glass. First bottle I've ever had where you could sense the corked nature of the wine on the nose but not on the palate. We drank it as no one else noticed and it was still a decent wine. Dark, good structure, silky finish, but somewhat aromatically compressed as most corked wines are.

Drinking great, a beautiful wine on the softer side of Côte-Rôtie

Showing well now, very masculine with broad shoulders, savory herbed black fruit, crushed rock, very long finish. Enjoyable.
