Medium golden color. Very expressive aromas of rose petals, honeysuckle, melon, orchids and Asian spices. Flavors of apricot, peaches, tropical fruit, honey and ginger. Nice touches of mandarin orange and minerals on the long and elegant finish. Pleasant viscous/oily texture. Subtle acidity but still very well balanced. So complex, concentrated and bold but also very harmonious. — 10 days ago

This needs a lengthy decant. Wonderfully spicy and herbal rendition of (100%) Grenache. There is a generous dose of sweet red fruit, yet it never gets alcoholic, flabby nor tiresome. Great Grenache.

One of the best bottles in the longest time, balanced body and tannins, plenty of fruit with that peppery finish — 4 months ago

Truly remarkable! Bright liquid caramel apple with vibrant acidity and lightness in weight to balance the robustness of twinkling flavors that light up the palate. — a month ago

#AgedWineTuesday

Dark inky in color with a reddish rim.

Nose of black currants, plums, cooked cherries, light mildew, earth, herbs, spices, tobacco leaf, dark coffee, light forest floor and black pepper.

Full-bodied and elegant with medium acidity and long legs.

Very dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, tobacco leaf, herbs, peppercorn, earth, dried meats, black tea and light vegetables.

Short finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 19 year old Syrah from Northern Rhône is still drinking nicely, although definitely not at its peak anymore.

Not in your face kind of wine at this point. Elegant, with nice complexity. Interesting, and still powerful.

Mildew and forest floor notes start to disappear after 90 minutes in the decanter. Still showing some fruit notes though, which is nice to see.

Good by itself or with food.

13% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$80. — 5 months ago
