Wow as expected. Great wine, great vintage. Loads of dark leather and tobacco mixed with dull red fruit. Perfect with ribs.

Lovely earthy manifestation of this wine. Very enjoyable with several hours of air, though less so prior to that.

Smoky, bright, and unapologetically explosive. A guilty pleasure wine and I'm not ashamed at all!

Used the Durand on the cork - soaked to the edge. Decanted for 2 hours.
This wine had some gaminess. Smooth. Fruit was a bit wild and overpowered by the savory flavors.
Paired well with the chicken skewers and onions. Needed complex flavors in the food to pair well.
Good but quite a bit below the Beaucastel
