  March 30, 2024 - Light ruby core with a clear orange-tinged rim. Heavy aromas of saddle leather, barnyard, asphalt, and tobacco, underscored by brambly blackberry, nutmeg, and cigar box, and some underlying, more delicate floral notes. Palate carries over, with black pepper and licorice accents. Beautiful balance, with the acidity and fruit to last, but this is peak drinking to my palate.

  December 15, 2022 - Served blind, I guessed as much as Northern Rhône but found this smooth and elegant enough to be Côte-Rôtie. Shows olives, dark berries, some smoke, a seamless wine, very finde, albeit a wee bit polished. Oak is fully integrated, the wine seems ready, yet no rush whatsoever.
