  4-5 hr decant. Old world rim, orange and soft. Super dark at center. Soooo fresh, Even to the last drop. Musk, moss, earth, deep with fatty smoked meats, pepper. Fruit was vibrant, black currant. Some cedar wood and chocolate too. To say it was a complexity journeyman would be an understatement. Still plenty of acidity leading to many years of enjoyment. Enjoyed with wagyu filets, Greek lemon potatoes and Parmesan broccolini. Insane now but could last for many years to come.

  Wine 3 and how fresh is this coming out of the bottle! Immediate: DECANT!
  
  With air gained good complexity, tannins are silky, olives, reserved fruit and bacon after taste. The wine was brilliant with a steak!
  
  This can live forever it feels… probably now - 2050
  
  98p+
  
  Thanks so much @Riaan for this great contribution!

  Blind, decanted 3 hours......old garnet in the glass. Admittedly, I am not a Rhone guy.......
  
  Nose of old prune and dust/dirt.
  
  Palate similar. It just came across as old muddied plum/prune fruit. Maybe the 3 hours of air hurt it? Maybe it's an off bottle? Some at the table with more Rhone experience than me said it was a troublesome/difficult vintage.

  How can you put points on a masterpiece?? In this situation it denigrates from the integrity of the wine.
  
  True work of art and a masterful display of elegance, balance, acidity and complexity. Everything I personally look for in a wine. Gorgeous. So unique.
  
  HOWEVER it needs 4-5 hr decant. After 1-2 hr decant it was really good but after 4 is when the fireworks started. I feel sorry for the others for not giving this wine the respect it deserves via a pop and pour or 1 hr decant.
  
  At peak and will stay here for years.
