October 18, 2020 - deep color, ready, more refined @ balanced than typical syrah-cab blends.

July 3, 2020 - Bu au resto AVV Comme chez soi de Sherbrooke.
A l`ouverture, je lui donne un 85 MAX, c`est in your face,
dense et hyper alcooleux, surfait et maquiller.
La bouteille fut relevé 3 jours avant et soigneusement décantée.
Immense dépot et croute. Laissé en carafe pendant 6 heures, remis
en bouteille non bouchée 2 heure avant la dégustation.
Il fut beaucoup plus sage une fois au resto avec la nourriture,
des mures, du poivre et un peu de tabac, les tannins sont
bien enrobés et la finale assez longue laisse un
peu de chauffe une une petite impression de sucrosité.
Bien et pas certain comment il va vieillir. -

December 30, 2019 - My last bottle of this Rhone blend. Very good with grilled pork chops. Loads of dark fruits and good balance.

December 26, 2019 - This followed a 2010 Côte-à-Côte Estate, and would perhaps have been as equally outstanding were it not for an underlying sharpness, possibly a touch of VA on the palate. Numbed as our palates were by the high ABV of this wine, we happily finished it (paying for the experiece with a late start the next morning).

April 27, 2019 - No formal TN, enjoyed as the 3rd wine of the evening. Typical big, GSM Paso red, 50%V new oak, with notes of black and blue fruit/jam, burnt wood embers, black pepper, and anise. Tasty, big and bold, probably correct to the intent of the winemaker. Not a re-buy for me at $65/btl. Drink now.
