In a great place now. Dark fruit, plum, spices. You could taste crisped bacon saltiness. — 6 months ago
Syrah planted on very decomposed granite slopes, locally called “gore” — 7 months ago
Ripe pineapple, golden straw color, has some middle weight tannins but light on the finish. Green apple, pomelo pith, flint, mineral, tropical fruit. Great wine for a meal at the Arden Waikiki. — 10 months ago

Given Voge reputation, I expected more from this wine. Maybe it’s not quite ready yet, but it was a bit underwhelming. Quite shy on the palate, the length was there, but not the complexity. The acidity was pronounced on the second day. I’ll wait another few years until I open the next bottle. — a month ago

Deep rich color and nose. Dark fruit and leather. Will likely mature over next decade. — 10 months ago
Was going to get the 2016 given I generally love that vintage across much of Europe but the somm talked me into the 2015 saying it was more open. He was right - this was delicious, and still traditional and “old school” with a restrained 13.5%. Tons of pepper and dark dark fruit with some olive. Very delicious with nice medium acid and a long finish. — 4 years ago

2020 vintage. Last tasted 12.3.25 (9.2), 9.4.25 (9.3) and 4.10.25 (9.3). Slightly more golden and round up front. Back end picking up (?!?!) acidity since last visit. Deliciously all over the map and sloppy. We've all got a friend or two just like this. Why should wine be any different? 10.23.26. — a day ago
