April 26, 2024 - Deep, unfaded purple-red.
Nose of ripe plums, tobacco, iron.
Medium-full bodied; damson tartness/sweetness, tannins still there.
Reasonable length giving a dried rose petal perfume.
I liked this wine a lot, it seems highly 'focused' to me, an excellent example of Crozes Hermtage. -

February 16, 2024 - I've had this at least a dozen times over the years, but this is the first time (that I remember) that it dropped most of its tannins. Very soft and smooth and still fruity. Dark and rich. Nuanced, but its not super complex though its possible with 5 more years this will develop. What a bargain! Drank over 2 nights (as usual stored overnight in the refrigerator). Pretty much the same both nights.

November 12, 2023 - 92-92 what a pleasent surprise in a blind tasting of northern Rhone wines. This stood out despite the fact that it was the cheapest wine on the list. It's stupendous! Dark fruit, tightly woven structure yet so soft and elegant. Also those typical notes of blood, iron and smoked meat. Drink now or in the next 5 years. I'm going to find more of this.

November 10, 2023 - Beautiful nose out of the gates - pnp - funk, leather, earth with hints of menthol - great acidity while tannins are present but relative light (at least now) - I think the fruit will fill out a bit more but very nice so far - no signs of age - this has plenty of life ahead of it and I will probably let my others rest for another 3-5 years… Very Good
