Still extremely fresh and drinking almost on the younger side. Some dark fruit with ample amounts of pepper. Nice finish. Not the most complex, but a really cool data point.

A week in the Northern Rhone; 12/7/2018-12/15/2018 (Lyon, Vienne, Ampuis, Chavanay, Hermitage, Cornas, St. Joseph, Condrieu & Paris): Tasted at the Domaine. Tasted alongside the '16, '13 and '03. This is why you need patience with these wines, the younger wines are all bright pure fruit and vibrancy which is attractive and delicious, but 15 years starts to reveal the hidden depths - smoked meats, olive brine and spice cabinet layered between the black and red matured fruit - and those minerals and silky tannin on the finish - very nice!

Nose of black fruits, plum jam and herbs. Clean, black fruits on the palate, good, structure and finely integrated tannins. It probably peaked a year ago or so and has just started a long, slow decline. Will drink my last bottle before 2013.

Nose of black fruits, smoke, plum jam and herbs. Clean, black fruits on the palate. Good structure and finely integrated tannins. Mature.
