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.

BAM! Tart/ripe blue berry and red cherry, smoke, grilled meat, and the awesome black pepper , slight olive, and acid bringing it all together...paired with chicken tandoori burgers...

Youthful (no surprise), but flavors and structure all in place. Just wound up.

It's there, but far too young to show its self in any meaningful way.

So, so, so, so... WAY too young. Mea culpa. Not much pleasure now, but seems like there's ample future potential.
