stunningly young with a deep red color. tannic and firm with an immediately available nose. not at all roasted. weak points were a lack of complexity in the nose and concentration to balance out but overall an amazing effort for $14.

excellent condition. classic bandol fruit and nose. lots of concentration with relatively lower tannin structure. It has aged but still on the young side although these wines don't tend to develop a lot of complexity from this point on.

dark brooding fruit with a deep red rim color. Still primary in nature with excellent concentration and balance. Nose was available upon opening and improved during the evening and held up over two days. Would wait another 3-5 years.

I´m a big Champagnelover that are on the hunt for a Piper Heidsieck Rare 1990 that i saw you´ve had before, so i´m just reaching out to hopefully find one bottle for a vertical (only bottle we´re missing). And You´re of course welcome to join if that´s in your interest.
Best Regards
