  February 10, 2024 - Colour: medium(+) ruby
  Nose: medium(+) intensity, tertiary, developing. Red plum, red cherry, maybe even strawberry. Cassis, bramble. Black peppercorns. Meaty, savoury. Leather. Wet stone, crushed rock, warm earth. Garrigue. Cedar?
  Palate: dry, medium(+) tannins (but so smooth and fine-grained!), medium acidity, medium alcohol (13%), medium bodied. Medium(+) intensity, medium(+) length finish. Red plum, red cherry, maybe even strawberry. Cassis, bramble. Black peppercorns. Meaty, savoury. Leather. Wet stone, crushed rock, warm earth. Garrigue. Cedar?
  Conclusions: very good! Can drink now, but suited to further ageing. P&P (not decanted), purchased retail recently.
  Seal: natural cork
  DAY 2: still drinking very nicely. Lots of fresh red fruit to the fore, and maybe some balsamic vinegar -- acidity is maybe a little more prominent than yesterday. Quite light and delicate by Syrah standards. Lovely.

  September 12, 2023 - Very much enjoyed with Sicilian chicken stew. Red meat and iron qualities that paired well with the stew. Good balance but not a complex or profound wine. In good window now with no clear upside to further cellaring

  August 1, 2023 - Drinking well enough now as a decent Rhone Syrah, but has little depth of character that you’d want from a Cornas

  March 30, 2023 - This ticks all the boxes for Syrah; it's cool, crunchy, savoury, peppery, slightly meaty, seemingly at the beginning of a plateau of maturity, but it just doesn't spark my interest and I can't quite articulate why. Reminds me of those new Pax wines, they're good but I don't need any in my cellar. On a related note, this is apparently the last bottle I ever purchased from Garagiste.
