Best aged bottle of this I’ve had yet. Really in a great spot. Last few bottles of Robinot in general have been disappointing, but I thoroughly enjoyed this.

This has faded quite a bit. I still like Robinot, but the last few older bottles I’ve had have convinced me I should be drinking these on the younger side.

Closed and dead upon opening. Needed a few hours to come around. Usually this wine is so vibrant once opened—weird.

Not nearly as austere as it was upon release. Evolving at a nice pace.
