  April 5, 2024 - Thomas’s Northern Rhone extravaganza (Cabotte): Seemed very young and primary after the previous few wines, with pure purple fruit on the nose and strawberry shortcake on the palate. Enjoyable, if a bit heady.

  April 5, 2024 - Syrah at Cabotte (Cabotte): Really sweet nose. Bit Jammy? On the strawberry spectrum. Ringer for something from the southern rhone, minus the kirsch. Pretty intoxicating, but just lacking a bit of zip. Very generous - but I’m not sure how it improves from here; would have thought that this was ‘at peak’

  November 24, 2023 - Splendie !
  Un nez tellement fin et envoutant, subtil et complexe, j'en avais des frissons! Un mix de fleurs séchées (violette, rose), doux, de fruits rouges et noirs, d'epices, à peine viandé (une nuance), à la bois baroque et immensément élégant: magique.
  La bouche surprend ensuite, car elle marque moins l'evolution, le vin offre un style différent, plus jeune, plus "sur le fruit" (cassis), solaire (concentré et puissant) et néanmoins minéral (sensation acidulée). L'attaque ronde et riche s'associe à la structure plus vigoureuse et serrée (ressentie déjà en 2018), quelle classe! Il se pourrait qu'avec qq années de plus cette texture soit de plus en plus velours...
  il ira au delà de 2030 je suppose...
  94/95

  March 16, 2023 - This is a supremely good Hermitage now drinking at the top of its game. Dark fruit, smoked meat, ash, porcinis. The thing that sets this wine apart however is an absolute Volnay-like texture. Pure silk. Very delicate and sexy juice.

  February 5, 2023 - Monthly Tasting Group: Rhones (Noyes and Cutler, St. Paul, MN): Very dark red/purple color. Drank a small glass at the end of the night. This came at the end of a long line of wines and like the '10 Guigal BeB didn't get the attention they deserved. I thought this had a really great texture to it, big, with dark fruits of blackcherry and boysenberry, good minerality and well spiced. 92-93pts.
