September 7, 2023 - Enjoyable now.
Bottle decant for 1 hour.
Drank over 3 hours but didn't fade out, rather showed plenty. -

March 27, 2023 - After a brief nap in a fat decanter this was singing. It’s pretty tertiary with notes like roasted peppers, smoked meats, and olive tapenade. At the time of ordering the CT suggested window ends in 2015, which made me a bit nervous. But, like I’ve found with many other wines, that date is nonsense. This is in a great place and could go even longer for those who like their Syrah particularly advanced.

October 20, 2022 - Fida's Private lunch with Philippe Guigal and Ralph Garcin (Gramercy Tavern): All all of the gamey-ness and somehow my mind wanted to say sanguine but it wasn't really bloody. Maybe just the essence somehow? It's an interesting one, but also quite enjoyable.

October 13, 2021 - Completely reduced down to its essential core. I was amazed at the concentration of flavors and the unexpected roasted coffee notes with hazelnut, cedar, leather, wild strawberry, dried lavender, and a large quantity of Provencal spices. Such a fun wine to drink, and from one of the best vintages of the last century. Drink it now or within the next two years.
