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. — a year ago

Popped and poured; no formal notes. This is a hugely floral wine; yellow flowers and honey suckle. Low-ish acid. Lovely with brandade. — 2 years ago

A difficult vintage. Made by a master. Rest In Peace Lionel.

Nose is swirling cherry and cherry licorice.

Palate is red and bLack cherries. Cherry cough syrup some bitterness

This peaked 7 years ago but still a lovely drink. — 2 years ago

First note: black pepper galore. As it opens the pepper dissipates, leading to dried flowers and chalky earth. Under-notes of cherry. Great acidity with moderate tannins. — a year 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
