Garnet to rusty to pink to clear rim, pink tearing. Tons of savory spice, anise, wet forest, wet decomposing leaves, black cured olives, bruised cherry on the nose. Tannins hit the rim of the hard palate and tongue, slightly rough, warm with alcohol, medium viscosity, flavors are congruent with the nose, but with an added highlight of candied cherry and sweet black raisins. The only downside I see is a bit of an empty mid-palate. I'm honestly surprised at how well this wine has progressed and lasted 9 years. Very fun experience and a testimant to the quality of this wine in it's original form.

typical Rhone - not much develpment over the years - just good dry powerful wine. Brillant for the price.
