Immer in Dormagen gelagert. 14,5 Prozent. Perfekter Korken. Erst zu 5 Prozent durchnässt. Flasche lag immer im Tonregal. Fett, hoher Alkohol aber gut. Würze unanimalisch. Fett auf den Rippen vom Grenache. Bis ca. 2028 zu trinken. Auf dem Höhepunkt. Auch am zweiten Tag noch ohne Alterserscheinungen. Top. Eher 91 als 90 Punkte.

Full, round, sweet, charming mature and in good balance, on the day it looses out to the splendid 2004, but no complaints here, a fine example of the domaine and the vintage. Time to drink it, I think. #withPB

Weekly tasting group RWP #249: Rhône; Gigondas (@ VD): In the beautiful and mature bouquet earthy and autumn forest impressions. On the palate cherries and ripe berries, a lot of herbs and spices, tobacco, leather, salty licorice, coffee, figs, juicy acidity and soft tannin. A fully mature and supple wine. Drink within the next few years. 90 – 91

A bit of an awkward wine. While it is not bad, it lacks both the generosity (of the vintage and of the producer) and the typicality, one could expect. Still primary fruit present, sweetness of grenache is here, nice enough, balanced, but where's the beef? Should one wait? To no avail, I fear.

Cellar kept. Still reasonably fresh and fruity, but nicely balanced.
