The aromatics on this are a little funky and awkward initially, but it comes together beautifully with some air as a haunting scent develops, combining olives, red fruits, forestal earthy notes and herbal elements into a perfume that's hard to move away from. There's incredible depth and complexity conveyed on a gentle, lightweight frame with impeccable balance and length - hard to do this justice in words, but a really amazing wine.

With Michael Lehmann at Singer & Foy survey of 1987 Rhones. Good medium ruby color. Nose shows medium fruit, without the offputting smells of the last two wines. In the mouth, seems to be drinking OK already, though it could use time. Very good. 5-10-16-7: 88/100.

Gentaz dinner. Only corked bottle. Good underlying material.
