Hubbahubba. Intense and spicy. Bright red fruit, rosemary, black pepper, a zip and lifted of almost cote rotie-like sharpness. This is full, bright, focussed and double barreled. Really deep and delicious

Dark and sexy. Intense Syrah with a brooding iron quality and juicy blue fruit. A whiff of high tone then thyme and sage. More bloody than the 11. Great

Wonderful. Bright cherry red clear fruit. The lifted and shrill VA nose of sweet rayas. Lovely intense fruit. A good find- in the wheelhouse of stay as and superb stuff.

Beautiful bright red and black fruits, white pepper, stem. Rich and layers of flavor. Very nice!

Oh baby! Just gorgeous nose, drop dead and effusive. Lifted notes of red currant jam, red plums, spiced figs. So much garrigue and lavender. Pepper, pastis, bittersweet cocoa, sweet leather, pipe tobacco, savory meat and truffle. Tannins still have some grit and once could argue it's got some more time ahead but the condition of the nose/palate are so great.

A fine pleasure with great length and starting to be mature tannins, will be even better in a few more years - and as Emmanuel Reynaud told me "remember wine is first of all a pleasure to share with people we care about" 😊

Totally dominated by stewed fruit and VA. Almost undrinkable, frankly. Maybe with a slight chill?
