  I am afraid I have kept it too long, so much tertiary notes dominating now like leather and musk. However the power of fruit did not make it dead. 8-10 years should be max for this wine:)

  clear ruby with tea-like reflexes. nose: chicken stock, umami; herbs - lovage, oregano; some red cherries in the second attack. Robust. taste: high acidity; fruit - still present - red cherries, chokeberries, blueberries; white pepper some tar. Very ripe tannins; spices - cloves. very long finish full of herbs and pepper. Excellent.

  Almost too white-peppery I think. Lots of bright and rich fruit - pinot-ish fruit. High quality. I can imagine some finding the white pepper intrusive though I like it! 90+ for me today as I would prefer a bit better balance toward pure fruit.

  Showing far better than the previous bottle. Nose not all that expressive at the moment however. Dusty fruit. But the palate was singing. Nettles, herbs, honey and a strong dash of white peppercorns mixed up with vivid red fruits and a hint of funk. Long and very distinctive and how I remember this wine from a few years back. Just a shame the bouquet is currently not working with the palate. 92 with potential for a point or two more in time.

  Dusty zesty, Burgundian in some ways. Bitter Italian character though, with smoke and pickled strawberries. Some funk. Deft on the palate. Good, but not as good as the previous vintage I tried a few years ago. A bit too lean and a bit too bitter/acidic. Sort of reminiscent of a introverted, lean, graceful aged Cornas.
  
  This was served too cold - accentuating the acids. Scored taking this into account and expecting a bit more generosity if served at room temperature, which would be more like 90+
