A lovely, pretty nose. Delicate red fruit, with strawberry and plush cherry. Floral notes and good length. Excellent

Quite nice, could use some more cellar time maybe, seductive dark fruits with electric acidity

So great. Full and expressive Syrah. Love this bottle every time. Is there a better Rhone value?

2010...opened way too young however showing very well. Like a unlit menthol cigarette rolled in black pepper. Where is the fruit? Who needs it?

Superb vintage for Gonon. Lifted, elegant, complex. Needs another 2-3 years to shine further. Will go long.
