Gorgeous clay-like nose. Juicy and dense, with insane tannin management, gorgeous granite, acidity, velvet texture, freshness and unreal energy. So, so sick. — 8 days ago
Very solid. Very accurate. Definitely ripe vintage — 8 years ago
Just what the doctor ordered. The aromas alone make this a winner. Savory aged meats dusted in peppercorns and herbs. Palate is medium and finish isn't the wines strength, but the aromatics are the real deal. — 10 years ago
Gorgeous nose, huge fruit, blood, violets, meat, and a hint of mint. Gorgeous and pure, with amazing drinkability and unreal purity. One of the best VDF wines I’ve ever tasted. — 8 days ago

As good as last time. I confirm. And there's pepper. Very herbal. Somewhere at the top of my list. — 7 years ago
This 2012 is 80% Marsanne, 20% Roussanne has an excellent presentation with a nice finish. The Domaine Blachon is slightly more complex, but this would be the novice wine drinkers favorite of the two. — 11 years ago
Very aromatic and wonderfully drinkable. True vin de soif, but with real richness and texture. Juicy and luscious, with freshness from acidity and granite. So easy to love. — 8 days ago
Needed 1 hour last night then it got reductive. But today oh man! Nose is glorious red fruits, granite, herbs and flowers. Clay, iron ore. Some blackberry as well. palate is raw and feral with blood, guts and meat. Concentrated and linear. Unreal texture and finish but needs a decade. — 8 months ago
Classic northern Rhone Syrah. Meaty, feral but still light on its feet. No as deep as the best, but a satisfying step below, especially for the price. — 9 years ago
