Saint-Joseph Syrah 2013
I love her style. Ballerina style St. Joseph. Ripe dark fruits, some game, some blackberry, camphor and dried flowers. Gorgeous and evocative nose. So juicy and silky with terrific silky tannins and great depth. 13's are in a great place now. Much fuller than on release. Good balance and purity and terrific concentration and freshness. — 9 years ago

Hermitage Syrah 2012
Nose is a bit bretty out of the gates but blows off after 5 minutes. Some leather, black olive and salty minerals. Some nice florals develop and after some coaxing after the Brett integrates. Nose is really nice eventually. Super intriguing intense minerality. Very unique. Palate is complex, elegant and very juicy with an intense mineral core. Terrific freshness and purity. Still a bit young initially but with air this fleshes out. Tannins are firm which ensure this many years ahead of it. — 8 years ago

Love 21 here. Utterly classic. It’s rare to have N. Rhône vintages that aren’t solar dominated. Terrific red berry fruit and the tiniest hint of brett that adds complexity and will blow off with some air. Leather, herbs and meat. Wow what a palate. So juicy and deep with terrific, ripe, juicy and substantial tannins. A mid palate opulence as well makes this so seductive yet it is also utterly.classic. The structure is noble like a Bordeaux. Really reminds me of Bordeaux. So juicy and dense yet nimble. Sappy and pure. Excellent. Really silky and supple now with air. Juicy and loads of spice on the nose. — a month ago
