Hold moly. The tannins are still grippy. Great balance and fruit through the finish. Gorgeous from this rare old bird. — 8 years ago

Great but pretty tight right now. 2hrs of air have allowed it to unravel a bit but I'm probably not popping another bottle for a year or so — 10 years ago

Elegant, but very complex, extremely well balanced. Earthy tones balanced with right amount of acidity. Shows crispness despite its age. It is great to drink today, it can keep aging as well. — 10 years ago

Probably past its prime, but, excellent structure and complexity. Let it open up, and the age is dispelled, leaving a wine that provides great length, and which evolves jn its tasting range. — 11 years ago

9.5

Rich in aroma, flavor, and texture. The oak was there but what caught my attention more was the white floral and lychee notes. On the palate it's dense, extremely pure, with a huge finish that shows acidity buried down deep in the wine. Great stuff if you can try it, a benchmark from one of the greatest sites in Condrieu! — 10 years ago

Juicy, tightly wound, sprinkle of pepper. Excellent example of cote rotie from a great producer! - from magnum as well. — 11 years ago

9.1

More primitive style of Northern Rhone, but more accessible than its predecessors. Savory, meaty, and leathery with purple flowers and trying to smell like black olives. Plenty of acidity and great balance. — 11 years ago

1995 vintage. Meaty, earthy, liquorice, nettles and bracken. Medicinal notes. On the palate, much more white pepper. Quite plush blackberry and black plum. Very silky and textured. Good concentration. Fresh acidity. Good finish. Very enjoyable. Unfortunately in great company tonight. — 11 years ago
