November 19, 2021 - Tough wine to nail down. Label says 14.5 abv but no hint of heat, also not overripe in any way and no browning at all, looks like a 2 year old wine. Red fruited on the nose and a touch of VA. Good acidity on the palate with some drying tannins and a little spritz, but overall well balanced. I liked it rather than loved it.

February 14, 2020 - The bold and rich characters of this Cornas is no where near settled 17 years on. The powerful tannins are though super ripe making delicious balance. This wine is truly a joy with aromas of dark fruit, olives, smoke, nori and raw reindeer meat.

December 13, 2019 - Slight spritz on opening but it fades. Massive, thick wine. Raspberry nose, though still youthful. Hint of geraniums but it doesn’t last. Chewy wine, black fruits, youthful still but nice. Good Syrah character. Dense, rustic wine.

May 28, 2018 - Midnight purple in the center and bright light garnet at the edges. Sharp, beautiful blackberry on the nose with sugar, bay, red fruit, and thyme accents. Notes of sweet, velvety blackberries, vanillin, and very soft Italian herbs around the edges. Long sweet blackberry finish with the faintest basalmic note. It drinks as if it was bottled 5 years ago rather than 15. Absolutely delicious.
