Big Smokey nose. Olives, black tapenade. Juicy, ripe and complex. Very ripe but refreshing. Lovely purity and freshness.

Oh man. Gimme mo! Big, rich, savory as all hell but balanced by that deep pure fruit one expects from a name like Graillot. I love the purity Maxime gathers with increased de stemming, perhaps a longer soak?? Black olive, beef blood, venison, fur, smoke, plump black cherry and plum, smoke, melange of herbs; sage, tarragon, thyme. Licorice and violet too. Very gravelly mineral notes throughout. This will be so good in 5+ years but who can resist a 2015 thats this promising right now.

Loved it! Willi’s is a famous champion of Rhône wines in Paris. Fresh, lively berry and earth notes. Soft tannins, drinkable now but probably with develop a bit more. Fun.

Ripe blackberry, crushed violets, fresh cut cedar, graphite, and wet gravel. Juicy, brooding, begging for lamb...
