  March 14, 2024 - Tasted next to 2012 Vincent Paris La Geynale. Less smoky on the nose - notes of dark fruit, herbs, spices, dark flowers, raw meat. On the palate more elegant despite noticeable tannins. Well integrated acidity, generous fruit, great minerality. Long and intense finish, very harmonious. Drink or keep. 93-95

  November 14, 2022 - Dark and glossy. A bit of oak on the nose, at times a hint of brett. Dark fruit, spices, cloves, smoked meat. On the palate lots of friuit, ripe but noticeable tannins, good acidity. Approachable, but likely better to keep for another couple of years. Very long. 93-95

  February 16, 2022 - By the glass at Oinoscent Athens. The bottle was opened a day before so one needs to adjust ( true TN below by kostaslonis). Asked to opine on the flaw here.
  The wine did not feel corked but also had nothing to show especially given pedigree. Was flat and muted and this can only be to our mind a prolong TCA impact. as we say in Greek " Krima"

  February 15, 2022 - Alain Voge 2012 tasting *failed* - Tasting Ground (oinoscent): This bottle was (for me) corked as well.
  The wine shows low intenstity with very confusing, damp character.
  In the palate, the wine shows medium to full body, there are tannins (although less aggreessive than expected), earth, smoke and fire everywhere, it feels warm, the fruit is overripe black cherry, prunes and even dates/raisin, the finish is short to medium.
  It doesn't have the typical cork taint, but everything feels muted to almost a numb state.
  Damn damn

  January 2, 2022 - A modern style of Cornas but I've had good experience aging this wine and this vintage certainly needs lots more time. Ripe blackberry fruit with potent acidity and lots of tannic grip. Finishes with dusty tannins and great smoky notes. Good material here for the future. 92+
