Nose of rhubarb, red currants, leather, earth, wet leaf, garrigue and pegau funk.
Palate shows lovely floral notes interwoven with spice, red fruit, garrigue, spice, black cherry and licorise, earth, and the funk that I love.
Finish is long....very persistent fruit with spice, garrigue, earth, leather funk and haunting violets.
This is really nice and drinking very well. Really complex. Almost 95 points

Dave, thanks for the notes. Just wondering if you decanted the wine? I havn't touched any of my 1999 yet because I didnt buy alot of southern rhone for that vintage.
