A great vintage for the domaine . A classic producer in a riper vintage works great . A baby but not infanticide .

Disappointing for this 01 expected more. Tight & not very expressive.

Showed interesting Rhône type notes and spice at the start, but did not last in the glass.

Lean, tannic. 1 hr decant. Mushroom forest floor notes early on evolved into cranberry & raspberry bramble. Good acidity. Still young.

A year later and this is still coiled up tight. Tannins still on the forefront. Needs more years in dark corners. Still fun!

2012 and still a little tight. Secondary fruit and tannin more evident. Some dark dark cherry. Decanted for 2hrs(ish). Still a hit!
