Oh man. Gimme mo! Big, rich, savory as all hell but balanced by that deep pure fruit one expects from a name like Graillot. I love the purity Maxime gathers with increased de stemming, perhaps a longer soak?? Black olive, beef blood, venison, fur, smoke, plump black cherry and plum, smoke, melange of herbs; sage, tarragon, thyme. Licorice and violet too. Very gravelly mineral notes throughout. This will be so good in 5+ years but who can resist a 2015 thats this promising right now. — 8 years ago
Maxime Graillot wine! Full destemmed: much cleaner style to father Allain. — 12 years ago
J'avais jamais gouté et savais pas que Equis il faisait un Cornas aussi! ben c'est tres bien je trouve. @delectable the domain name is Equis , not Maxime Graillot, even if he is the wine maker. — 13 years ago

Maxime is Alain Graillot's son. He obviously paid attention as he nailed this. Primal Syrah. Great now with some time to breathe and open... greater in years to come. Loved it. — 7 years ago
