Suis complètement passé à côté de ce vin ce soir. Un peu fatigué (comme moi ?)

Red. Ready to go. As close to a blue chip vin de garde yet undervalued winemaker as I know.

Still room for more resolution. Not sure that does any favors. Good place 30 minute decant off of lots of sediment. (V. Good) correct! Def rebuy.

Another perfectly aged modest Syrah. Could have tricked me for deep red burg. Such a producer.

Truly beautiful. Hitting me as if it were Rayas. Olives and mint and probably in an ideal place at 10 years.

Tar and black fruit with smoke, spice, and white pepper on the nose. Bright acidity and faded tannins round out this wine. Probably should have drunk this two years ago...
