Garnet translucent it has a fabulous nose of smoke, ash, bonfire, raspberries, dark chocolate, tobacco and cigar box. On the palate it has reasonable follow through but this bottle has more obvious dusty notes and is a little more clipped than the previous two examples we tried. This was a little less vibrant and a little bit tired suggesting it is time to drink up. Still it is a charming, mature old school cote rotie.

Casual Wines Session on Wednesday night (Extra Space, Boon Keng): Clear light brownish colour and look like a fully mature wine. Showing nose of earth, tobacco and dusty notes. A bit light on palate but still good and fresh, with dried fruits and mineral. Medium finish with fine tannins. This is not at the same level of other wines but it is nonetheless a good wine.
