Lovely soft-edged blue fruit. Blackberry and an iron roundness. All kinds of savory stuff in the middle, but really classy, with beautiful plush mouthfeel. A soft and salty character and lovely poised length. Spectacular — 8 years ago

Loved it. Tiny beautiful bubbles. A bit sweet for me but the acidic backbone is still present which makes it drinkable. Empty bottle. — 11 years ago

My favorite producer of Crozes Hermitage. Deep dark color with black cherry, creosote, iron, game bird, garrique very complex, spicy, black pepper on the finish. Need to buy more of this vintage. — 11 years ago

I was so nervous about proposing recently that I forgot my two birthyear wines I had saved for almost a year. Happy Belated to ME! Still celebrating the engagement too. A lot to celebrate! To those who are wondering if 86s are approachable yet, they are. This wine had been solid as a rock forever, but today it was seamless. Dank and pretty, intense cassis and black currant and blackberry reduction. Somehow fresh cut floral notes like lavender and cherry blossom. Fresh earth tone to it with an endless iron steel like mineral finish. Complimented by a rich wood tone. Perfectly softened tannins. This bottle was a milestone for me. — 10 years ago
