December 28, 2023 - This was lovely and I’m thoroughly impressed. Touch of barnyard funk but the red fruits were really opulent and came across very well. With some air the wine showed a ton of white pepper and spices, with some violet notes to it as well. It’s one of those enigmatic Cornas, really well made and enjoyable to drink.

December 26, 2023 - Boxing day at Caroline's: Another obvious northern Rhone but thought this had a more perfumed and elegant palate, so went for mid-90s Cote-Rotie. Seamless black fruit, impressive length and balance. In a perfect window now. A real treat and a close third on the night.

April 26, 2023 - N Rhone Chez R: Served blind. On the nose - blood and soil - suggesting Cornas. The palate is elevated, not quite ethereal. Again, just lovely acidity and balance. On revelation - unlike the 98s, 95 gives the impression that it will go on for a long time. A real treat - possibly my favourite wine of dinner excepting the mega-flight...

December 11, 2022 - Similar to the 2020 bottle, but a bit of earthiness on the finish -- were it not for that, I'd give it another 2-3 points. Cellared since original release, Kermit Lynch import.
