Whew—not for the impatient. Crazy backward at first but after many, many hours of air opened up to reveal stunning strawberries, cedar, black tea and leather. Lighter style but tons of structure and high toned acidity, perhaps more akin spiritually to a traditionalist Barolo than a modern (inky, purple, oaky) Bdx. Will definitely seek out again. This fresh prince of Bel-Air is kicking it old school and it is a breath of fresh air. — 12 hours ago

Needed some decanter time. Chocolate cherries, prunes, baking spice, vanilla, violets. Port-like. Pretty and rich — a month ago

Drowning my no-Rieslingfeier-this-year sorrows. Orchard fruit, citrus and minerals galore — a month ago

Translucent garnet / purple, cherries, raspberries, candied rhubarb, cedar and lavender. Sappy but not heavy. Must have been a challenge to control ripeness in 2015 in Oregon but this succeeds pretty admirably — a month ago

Always a treat. Dead on perfect bottle, amazingly fresh for nearly two decades of age. Warm, beguiling aromas of spice, roasted nuts, dried fruit; palate absolutely rips with citrus and stone topnote with coconut, brown butter, baked apples and apricot. Complete wine and absolutely delicious — 13 days ago

Heady stuff. Raspberry, boysenberry, red apple skins, violets, smoke. High alcohol gives it a scorched taste I didn’t love. — 8 days ago

The Faury Saint Joseph rouge is clearly one of the best Syrah values out there but don’t sleep on the blanc, which also happens to be among the most enjoyable northern Rhône whites I’ve ever had. Forget Condrieu and Hermitage blanc and buy this instead. Actually, forget I said anything — a month ago
