Beautiful, whip-smart Northern Rhône Syrah with blackberry, violets, granite and, after air, a gorgeous olive note running through both the nose and palate. The texture is sleek and refined, with excellent freshness, fine tannins and a long, elegant finish. Not quite as complete or tightly composed as the monumental 2019, but still an exceptional Gonon and a brilliant expression of the vintage. — 5 days ago

Merlot dominates this blend but there is some Cabernet Sauvignon and some Cabernet Franc blended in. Medium ruby color with a slight clear meniscus. Fruit forward aromas and flavors of blackberry, black cherry, dark plum, baking spices and cedar. Medium-plus finish. Medium body and very silky tannins. Well balanced/layered acidity and a very silky texture. A bit more austere than a traditional Medoc red blend. At peak. — 10 months ago

Insane nose: red cherry, tea, a little sauvage underarm complexity, and stunning elegance. Limpid, lithe, fresh, and full of movement, with lower acid than 2021 but incredible life. — a month ago

2015 lovingly stored, drank at what feels like its peak in 2026, all the necessary acidity and fruit but deep and mature secondary flavors of Syrah — 4 months ago

I’m starting to get a little nervous about 2019 red Burgundy. The vintage was so dazzling young that people, understandably, got seduced. It reminded me of 2005 in that way, huge early authority, massive promise, the kind of wines that make you think you are looking at immortality. But now I’m seeing the same thing I eventually saw there: a slightly roasty evolution and a pace of maturation that feels faster than I’m comfortable with. This 2019 Pierre Brisset Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Thorey is still gorgeous, a 9.7 wine, but it also reinforces the point. If I had real depth in 2019s, I would not be waiting around for some imaginary perfect plateau. I’d start drinking. This really got younger and more dense overnight and is drinking way better. 9.7 to 9.8. — 4 months ago
