Well, I found one. A Faviley, from 1998. Perhaps not the Domaine's greatest hour or vintage, but, hey, for twenty-bucks am I complaining?? Lots of iron and meat for aroma, think of fresh side of cow on a rusty spit and you get the idea. Masculine styled, spicy, rusted iron, strong tannins throughout the finish. Firm, comes around a little, but still not revealing much besides iron, blood, and meat. A slight floral element, perhaps tulip, on the finish. This has softened up just enough to enjoy, but I don't know if it will ever become enjoyable with a capital E. A-/B+
