Dark and murky in the glass. Rich powerful nose. Notes of slate stone, red and black fruit, soil, spice and some menthol. Rich fruit in the mouth. Coats the palate. Great juice that can still gain more complexity. Drink now or over next 15+ years. 94+

Catching up on some recent TNs. This was deep and dark with an awesome nose. Notes of black fruit, menthol, slate stone and spice. Rich and silky in the mouth. Long finish. In a great drinking zone and likely to remain there for a decade or two.

Scarlet tawny, similar in color and depth with the 99 Delas Hermitage sitting next to it. With enough air this shows as rich and flamboyant in the nose. Notes of ripe black cherries, rose petals, spice and moist earth. Powerful yet graceful on the mouth. Has great impact. It’s in what is likely a long and rewarding drinking window.

Layered, dense and gamey, black cherries, espresso, camphor, minerals, damp earth, hints of black pepper and finely integrated tannins. The finish is long and precise.

Dark tawny with light amber rims. Almost opaque. Rich fruit nose. Notes of black cherry, blueberries, plums, moist field brush and a little menthol. There’s a warmth to this. Well balanced. Great now but will hold off a few more years before the next one.

WOTN. Amazingly fresh, yet evolved into fascinating complexity. Leathery and meaty/smokey at first, then red fruit sprinkled with lots of black pepper is revealed. There's good fruit presence on the palate too, with obviously-once-brooding tannins nicely softened by time. A long, satisfying finish. Rostaing rocks!
