@Chris MacLean, these bottles, particularly the “La Guiraude”, will develop for 30-35 years in the best vintages (I posted on a 1990 La Guiraude within the past year. Alain made great Crozes-Hermitage, it sounds like his sons have kept up the quality of the wines!!

Bernard Faurie

Hermitage Syrah 2005

Gold Cap (Bessards-Meal blend), purchased at Marche-aux-Vins in Ampuis in January, 2009, this shows lovely aromatics of iron, mineral, some floral as well, very tight, structured palate with mostly black fruit flavors, clean, balanced, very long finish, ideally needs more cellaring, but I think I only bought 1 so that’s not happening, great Syrah from Hermitage!! — a month ago

Fresh raspberries made delicate after nine years in the bottle. A crowd pleaser at the Christmas table. — a month ago

Domaine Bernard Gripa

St. Joseph Syrah 2019

Decided to try one of these guys. Somewhat surprised - more accessible and quite a bit glossier than I was expecting. The 14.5% is well balanced with great acid. Nice deep berry fruit but perhaps doesn’t have as much of those characteristic St. Joseph briny, earthy, olivey, somewhat rustic notes as expected. Nice pairing with shepherd’s pie made from leftovers from Christmas. — 25 days ago
