If I'd drunk it all the first night, I would have agreed with the person who scored it so low. However, 24 hours had left the remaining half of the bottle time to mellow. The initial impression was of high acidity, low fruit and alcoholic heat. Hardly delicious! The following day, the fruit shone through and behind a still high level of acidity, there was plummy fruit, minerality and length. Possibly never really going to come into focus, this was still a lovely wine on the second night.

Straightforwed Rhone, simple but solid. Aged well, but still in prime.

Disappointing... Dead and gone. Cough syrup comes to mind.
