We had the 2021 Vintage on 1/29-30/26. A real good PN with darker tones. Black cherry, black raspberry and cardamom. Smooth, medium bodied, nice mouthfeel. Tannins all smoothed out. Fruit forward — 5 days ago

The darkest and meatiest southern Rhone blend I’ve tasted with tremendous complexity. Explosive nose of black lack, blueberry jam, cured meat, grilled herbs, black pepper, dark chocolate, sweet soy source, and hint of violet. There is just the sense of Unami. Rich palate but structured like a skater that’s smooth, precise, and effortless.
I had the fortune to taste the 14’ True Believer 2 years ago, and I don’t really know what constitutes a reserve bottling, but this has more Syrah (53%).
