Third bottle from a half case purchased at auction in 2010. More than 95% Syrah (sélection massale) with some complanted Viognier, vineyards in the north of the AOC, organic viticulture (ULASE certified since 2004), part whole bunch, fermented with indigenous yeasts, aged for two years in barrique (1/3 new), bottled with minimal sulphur, 12% ABV. Last tasted in February 2020, when I was worried that the tannins might outlast the fruit - a concern with many 2005's all over France. Will they ever come round? This bottle seems to have finally escaped the grip of the tannins, and the aromas of crushed red berries, peaches and flowers are starting to show again after a closed phase that lasted the better part of 15 years. Directly after opening the nose feels quite dusty, but after an hour or so this character recedes. It does come across as quite nerveux - almost a bit volatile on the nose and the finish. I am optimistic, but I need to retaste. Provisional score. 12/20/2021

This was delightful tonight with lots of softer, well integrated dark blue and black fruit, earthy sanguine notes, some graphite undertones and well integrated tannins on the mid length finish. All in all, quite nice and sadly my last bottle. This did need about an hour in the decanter to open. 12/14/2023
