It feels like I had a different wine than the others: mine had lots and lots of plums, which no one else had.
Started out fresh plums, stewed plums over time. Black currant, Goulash on the nose. The taste was pleasantly sweet with smooth tannins and solid acidity. Nice and long on the mouth. I really enjoyed this wine with our lamb.
Decanted 1.5 hours.

Gang of 4 in Covid19 times; Southern Rhone (@ RW): Beautifully fresh bouquet with a lot of herbs and spices. On the palate red berries, some chocolate, beautiful and elegant, fresh acidity and a pleasant touch of oak. Lovely wine.

I recommend at least a 30 minute decant. “The palate strikes a beautiful balance between powerful fruit, viscous texture, and earthy minerality and finishes with ultra-silky tannins.” - Ian Cauble, Master Sommelier, SommSelect

Beaucastel reprise (Ben and Estella's place, Parramatta): Red over black hued fruit, ripe raspberry and strawberry, fruit forward nose, clean. Juicy, fresh, fleshy, juicy, silky tannins, berried, alcohol warmth is present but non-intrusive. Rather lovely.
