First note: black pepper galore. As it opens the pepper dissipates, leading to dried flowers and chalky earth. Under-notes of cherry. Great acidity with moderate tannins. — 2 years ago
Bessards-Greffieux. Tastes 3 years old 😂😂 enveloping richness tempered by sturdy tannin and that classic Hermitage granitic bite. Layered, some part coarse and angular marrying with some parts supple and round. All working very well IMO. The Faury finesse and subtlety is there, this is a thinking wine, perfect for not sharing on Father’s day. — a year ago
Starts out super aromatic, over the top intensity of stone fruit, white flowers, marble, just a touch of vanilla in the background. On the palate viscosity strikes first, with fruit stepping back, some phenolics bitterness and a mouth-coating finish — 3 years ago
Smoky violets. Savory with a whiff of grapefruit. Whole cluster. Thoughtful. — 8 months ago

Wild and smoky, presenting deep ruby in the glass. Palate is stylish and peppery with alcohol in check. Possibly whole cluster? Violets and coffee grounds come around with air. Guessed Faury St. Joseph 2015 blind, a’thank you! — a month ago
