2023 vintage. Medium body. Super nova brightness of fruit exploding forth. Some mineral qualities. Judicious and caring unctuous/oily accents. If you can find this retail, should run in the low $20’s. Resto cost $14.43. Good lord. This is ridiculous. 03.12.25. — a month ago

Not something you’d see everyday - a Pfalz Syrah! Honestly it was a little boring after the Jamet. Good fruit purity and lovely spice. but lack’s the multi-faceted nature of the Jamet. A touch warm in the finish. — 3 years ago

Good Lord. This is such special stuff. Still lots of time - a decade perhaps. Endlessly fascinating, decadent mouthfeel. — 3 years ago

Lots of forward fruit, red currant and blackberry. Subtle mid palate. Just a nip of tannins on the finish. Overall smooth and easy drinking. — 5 years ago

So youthful & joyful. Upon opening very fruit forward, after some time it settles down and start showing more sophistication.
White peach & ripe lemons, with a touch of cool minerality. So clean & enticing.
On the palate this shows amazing purity. Juicy (lemons!) worth electric tension between the fruit and the juicy acidity. Starts off a bit broad but then shows brilliant focus and great depth. And the finish that just doesn’t stop - precise, mineral, salty, juicy.
This is a brilliant wine - I’m curious to see how this develops once it sheds the youthful fruit. — 2 months ago

Very Bordeaux in style, cassis, dark plums and black currant, a whiff of cedar wood. An earthy note, too. A touch of blackberry jam.
On the palate this remains fresh with zippy acidity, crunchy dark fruit, a nice tannic frame. The wood perfectly integrated, the finish fresh, juicy. This is delicious, year in, year out. — 3 years ago

Wonderful umami on the nose (is that even a thing?!) of mushroom and forest floor. On the palate much brighter and lighter, with cherry and vibrant acidity. Light to medium bodied. — 5 years ago

Cool, fresh, with great depth. Cool, dark fruit, a herby edge, a whiff of tree bark. So enticing.
Cool & fresh on the palate, amazing flow! Perfectly polished & integrated, fine tannins, juicy acidity, black cherry & dark plum, a hint of Mandarine peel freshness, a herby edge. Amazing flow! So juicy, so fresh, so clean.
