2000: 15 year old CD-R villages tasting tasty. Dark and heady, black fruit, figs, raisins, chocolate, leather, meaty, some aniseed notes. Softened, no grip or acidity. Ready and open but complex, in the dried fruit spectrum, rum & raisin. — 11 years ago

Still tightly wound. This wine took about three hours decant to just begin to open up. The tannins need another year or two to integrate. After 3.5 houses the nose was singing with floral underbrush, tapenade, kirsch, and smoke. I want to try a bottle in two years. — 6 years ago

This was amazing. All the classic southern Rhone aromatics, roasted garigue, and smoked meat, blood and orange. A little overripe but not too much. — 11 years ago
