Cool vintage Chateauneuf with a bit of age, from one of the handful of good houses. I haven't had wine in a week and am thrilled to break the fast with this guy.

Fascinating vegetal and herbal notes, old leather, talc, once the brett blew off it had a very perfumey note, crushed red petals and smashed sun blistered red/black berries. I landed in the right regioN!

17.5+. Very fine. Wonderful mature nose, all garrigue etc, no fruit. But plenty of fruit on palate. V long.

Un vin sudiste, charmeur, avec des notes de garrigue, de figue, de prune, mais il y a un côté assez prononcé d’écurie ou d’etable qui m’empêche de pleinement l’apprécier. Laurence l’a préféré à moi

Holy crap, this is funky! Savory flavors of olives, grilled meat juice, wet earth, herbs and a core of cherries and light blue berries with some mint .. mild to moderate tannins persist!

Wow. Fully mature, tannins have completely mellowed to reveal a subtle, sweet and soft cdp. Do not wait much longer to enjoy this gorgeous wine.
