The wine at this stage is in decline. Still offering beautiful sous-bois aromatics and medium acidity. The wine doesn’t evolve with time instead showing same flavors throughout the night. Turkey pleaser. From mag — 2 years ago
Vintage 1978 | Incroyable! Unbelievable! Amazing. Velvety taste, grandma Pinot noir smell. / Paired with tenderloin and bell pepper Asian Style and cheeses / I often think ‘ how will this wine taste in 5, 10, 15 years?’ I seldom or never think ‘How tasted this wine 42 years ago?’ Now I do. | I think this must have been a Dutch bottling. — a year ago
Difficile pour moi de noter ce vin, aucun recul pour des vins de 40 ans. En tout cas, il n'était pas mort!
Couleur tuilée mais pas tant que ça. Je m'attendais à une robe presque orange.
Nez agréable, forcément du champignon, du tertiaire mais pas que. Je m'attendais à goûter un truc qui ne ressemblait plus à du vin. Et bien si!
En bouche, j'ai aimé. Et à nouveau, je dirais qu'il y avait encore un petit peu de fruit en arrière.
Bref, content d'avoir goûté ça, mais j'aurais préféré le faire avec vous 😉 — 3 years ago

Brilliant Purple and ruby color. Medium viscosity. Jaboulet domaines know how to make great Syrah..and this is no different. on the nose, you get delicate layers of red and blue fruits, bacon, violet, spices, wet leaves and crushed rocks. On the palate, this wine is dry, medium plus acidity, medium plus body, silky, round medium tannins and medium alcohol. You can’t miss the beautiful and powerful mineral/granite overtones. Super well integrated and long savory finish. Complexity in harmonious brilliance..this is a treat! (Decanted for an hour) — 7 months ago
