Parady Saint-Joseph Syrah 2020

Been over a year and this wine is singing. Nose is so expressive with granite, camphor, herbs, meat, olives, blackberries and smoke. So complex and expressive. Palate is energetic and rich but so supple and juicy with tons of blackberry and darker red fruits. Superbly long finish that just builds and builds. Unreal freshness and suave texture. Just stunning and only just opened. The nose is super leathery after air. — 2 months ago

@Jay Kline used to all be on berceau but he sectioned it out and it’s so lush and approachable.

Such a great vintage at Gripa. Nose has gras, wood dust, yellow fruits, smoke, marzipan and more. Stunning. What a palate. Round and elegant with incredible purity and sap. So fresh yet super elegant. Wow, what a wine. Brilliant. — 9 months ago

Château Fombrauge Saint-Èmilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 2020

Dark, glass-clinging purple with opaque black core. Abundant, blue-fruity nose. Echoed on the lush, full palate which adds red apple peel, blackberry, and bitter black plum. Medium acidity. Velvety medium tannins. Very nice, everyday St. Emilion. Food is, of course, naturally its friend. Drink now through 2030. — 7 months ago

Le Berceau Saint-Joseph Syrah 2015

Nose: inky dark blackberries.

Palate: deep dense blackberries. Balanced but very dense. Almost monolithic.

Most people will like this more than I do.

As this opens a bit more elegant.
