2020 vintage. Last tasted 11.8.22 and scored a 9.4. Decanted and tasted immediately and after two hours. Medium body. The crushed violets, baking chocolate and smoke early on but later, pronounced dark cherry and acidity. Regardless, pretty and well-made. 12.9.23. — 5 months 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. — 9 months ago

Smoky violets. Savory with a whiff of grapefruit. Whole cluster. Thoughtful. — 5 months 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 — 2 years ago
