May 5, 2024 - Hermitage's Dinner (Noizé): A vigorous purple colour. Lots going on here - some discussion of rocks at the table, there's a kind of minerality but also an explosion of flavour - gentle popping candy perhaps? Truly engaging wine this draws you in.

March 9, 2024 - Hawker night at Caroline's: A little disappointed by this for a vaunted maker and vintage, thought this was a southern Rhone. Dense and powerful dark red fruit, had an oak signature of a modern maker with some coffee and mocha notes.

August 13, 2023 - Hugely smoky nose of bacon fat and woodsmoke. Brambly and blackberry fruit - insanely rich and intense but, paradoxically, light and dancing. How can you be big and light at the same time? Like a great dancer? Like Nureyev or Baryshnikov. Light but strong; leaping and lithe but deeply structured and firm. Sensational and such a privilege.

December 16, 2021 - Popped and poured - then tasted over 2 days. Initally very stony and toght, vertical and very elegant indeed, on day 2 virtually unchanged, although gaining a bit of weight. Hanged meat, hints of coffe and chocolate, fine acidity, a perfect bottle of this. This is extraordinay wine. Drinking well, IMHO - but certainly no hurry.
