Best expression of Syrah I’ve had in some time. 2021 was a hell of a Rhône year — 4 months ago
Delightful with venison. Black licorice overtones with great finish. — 6 months ago
Opened this for a special occasion and frankly, it was a disappointment when first popped. It had energy for sure, but I just found it a little too “sweet” and the oxidative notes too distracting, with some obvious caramel and nuts. Thankfully, it just needed air to shine and by golly, did it shine brightly. The nose somehow blossomed into a perfume of pears, oranges, flowers, spices, flint, and digestives. On the palate, the “sweetness” seemed to melt into a citrus liqueur kind of character and texture. Very mineral-driven, with a saline backbone and stony finish. It does feel quite different from the classic Les Beguines, but rightfully so. The variety, grower, and vineyard’s all different. The Prevost vinous-ity does translate over though. Nevertheless, loved the wine. — 2 months ago

Strong nose of hazelnuts and cloves. Has almost a medicinal quality. This split the group with many finding the 15% alcohol too much.
