An afternoon sip while thunderstorms roll through the mountains. Flavors of iodine, black currant, blackberry, and wet pavement sit silkily on the tongue.

Great bottle, slightly hard tannins but beginning to resolve, ripe yet elegant Syrah

One of the best wines of the year...still tight, but already showing beautifully...leather, game, and spice, with deep floral and stoney mineral notes

Great producers make great wine even in meh vintages. Classic northern Rhone sryah. Bacon, tar, almost dried red fruit, thyme. Light for the AOC, but expected for the vintage.

Sneaky ripe for an Hermitage. A lot of fruit right out of the gate, but as it warms/breathes...The classic tar, meat and leather starts to emerge. What a wine

Probably drinking this far too early. Not the most subtle of wines but it does have a wonderfully long finish. Drunk with chicken, a surprisingly good pairing.
