Hermitage Marsanne Roussanne 2020

Lyle Fass
9.6

I love Hermitage Blanc. Old, young or middle aged I love it. So unique and I also like how polarizing White Rhone is amongst wine lovers.

Nose is intense Marsanne in all it’s unbridled glory. That almost feral, medicinal minerality. It’s so high toned and pierces one’s nostril. Yellow fruits galore but angles. Maybe they will get more gras as it airs. Likely. Palate is so intense. Unctuous and intense but floats as it’s so elegant. Great concentration and mineral sweetness and just insane freshness from the granite soils. This reminds me of Puligny Referts today. It’s so long and regal. Amazing fruit presence. Masterful.

9.5

Gorgeous stuff and the new top St. Joseph at Alexandrins. Nose is awesome. Floral and complex with such lift. Bittersweet cocoa, granite, almost an old school Bordeaux vibe, totally classy and classic. Really compelling. So complex and almost dizzying. Smokey and spicey as well. Wow. Palate is ripe and insanely juicy with extremely clean and classy black fruits that are ultra vivid and pure. Such great cut and length. Unreal tannins and minerality but all framed by top notch elegance. A great wine. Really concentrated and dense. Just explosive. Tiny berry intensity. — 7 months ago

Cornas Syrah 2019

What a nice Syrah. Surprisingly ready to go with a 4 hour decant. But the tannins are quite moderate in a way I wasn’t quite expecting. Lots of dark berry. Some olive and earth. Nice acid. Delicious wine. — 8 months ago

Les Chaflans Crozes-Hermitage Syrah 2019

Lyle Fass
9.3

What a wine. One of the finest in Crozes today. Nose is smokey, leathery and full of deep blackberry fruit. Tons of granite and stones. Some nice black and kalamata olive but needs air to express itself. But this is ultra serious. Palate is deep, dark and ripe but so elegant and nimble with astonishing purity. A bit closed now as many 19’s are but wonderful, ripe and mouth coating tannins. Man the tannins are so fine here. Tiny berry intensity but also a bit acrid as it’s closed and there is so much material. Burst of freshness on the finish but this is need of mega air. 9.3 for now but will ride with air. Man the fruit is so dark on this one but also squishy in a good way. With air nose is becoming confectionary. Smells like purple cotton candy. Really coming into its own. Palate is getting silkier but it has a ways to go. This is barely opening and seems to be a “tomorrow” wine. — 8 months ago
