Best expression of Syrah I’ve had in some time. 2021 was a hell of a Rhône year — 4 months ago

Alban is name of first child. what a nose, gamey, stoney, granite, loess, amazing nose. so so sick. red fruits. raspberry coulis. olives, leather, some funk, some barnyard, some horse. wow this nose. wow, so silky, so elegant, big and refined, but juicy and so so elegant. Amazing purity. So open and wide. Coulis. red fruit, so fine, so much velvety tannins, sleek and refined. polished classicism. precise dense deep and lots of material. Drinking so well now. — 9 months ago

No formal notes but like other 2010’s either in a dumb phase or just a spotty vintage. — 3 months ago

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. — 6 months ago

2005 vintage. Beautiful nose, with cassis, blackberries, cedar wood, a little smokiness,and flowers. Seriously concentrated, combining power and elegance. Layers of fruit in a tight but ripe tannic structure. Showing beautifully now, but it should age effortlessly for decades. Classic Saint-Julien. — 2 months ago

Stunning. Marzipan, smoke, cheese rind, lemon, almond. Very clean and chiseled but with ample roundness on the finish. Should continue to evolve for some time — 5 months ago

A little chewy upfront. Nice punch of cabernet. Then the cab franc and Petit Verdot show up. Dry and rich. Nice sipping with dinner. Went well with lamb and polenta. — 8 months ago
