Drink up if you have them. Still a lovely flavor profile but not very long, and not super complex. Bitter herbs and dark fruit. In my opinion, these are fading.

Grenat tuilé, bord évolué tendance orangée, petits pigments en supsension, il semble à point! Au nez, la mûre et la frmaboise embaument, mélée de notes de Kirsch, de fruits à l'alcool, c'est très sudiste, très (sud-)rhodanien âgé, une pointe de cuir, d'épices (poivre-cannelle-vanille), de ronce (la petite austérité des mourvèdre?). Plutot classique, mais fort avenant (net)! En bouche, le vin confirme son pédigrée, c'est capiteux, solaire, mais minéral et salin. La mûre se confirme, avec l'aération la pivoine surgit. Un vin de gastronomie pour dompter sa puissance, nanti de tanins encore serrés mais fins. Un beau C9P maitrisé, flatteur et pur, mais somme toute classique! 91/92

Deep Red, little nose and a wine of two parts. the initial flavour is of very round, rich fruit followed by a medium tannic finish. The balance is very good and it is a big wine as you would expect from the vintage. Unquestionably nowhere near to its best and would give it at least another 7+ years as it is one dimensional and dare one say it a bit dull at present. Will be very good indeed.

Cork was intact but bottle was a little oxidized. I poured it down the drain.

The wine had an effervescence at the beginning of tasting then I debated and came back a few hours later and seemed very fruit forward
