Amazing long finish like I remembered! Beautiful balance and long 45+ sec finish. Need to find a few more bottles!

Stupid good - not fully mature by a long shot - but old enough!

Quite austere, maybe a few years past its prime, nose redolent of Grenache, but palate very restrained, reminiscent of faded fruit. Quite tannic actually. J says you can really sense the “vielles vignes”. Very good but would love to try something newer, maybe a 2015

Old world - wonderful bottle of wine - enjoying the 2009 vintage- unbelievably smooth- hint of tobacco - if you can find this wine I strongly recommend.

A little inflated because the TV show really sucked. Otherwise a 9.3
