So brilliant but man is this young, albeit less young than normal. Insane nose with the most vivid olives and complexity. So elegant and long on the palate but starts out tannins then gets less tannic and melty. Needs 5 years. — 5 months ago

Lovely texture, richness without flab. Mineral nose, tropical fruit on the palate. The quenching freshness on the finish really takes this to the next level. Lovely. — 2 years ago

Classic northern Rhone Syrah. Meaty, feral but still light on its feet. No as deep as the best, but a satisfying step below, especially for the price. — 7 years ago

A tight nose, perhaps more air would help bring it out. But it’s savory palate is a perfect match for Spanish eggplant w honey & lemon. Tropical but muted, a wonderful viscous mouthfeel that Carries some wood I’m betting. I see some ratings in previous yrs really knock it down, but these things are all so subjective. Not an opulent w Rhone, but even with my post Covid mouth, enjoyable, especially with food. — 6 months ago
