Monday, March 21, 2022 - Brawn, blood, brine, beef, black olives, ointment, just a touch of green then lavender as it unfolds through the evening.
The colour is still so youthful and there is a tannic undertow to the wine but it is well balanced, has good acidity and is oh so savoury. Ash, blue fruit, brine again. This is old fashioned wine making done well, a wine with rigueur, an honesty to it, uncompromising. A moment that stands out in this day and age.

The following day there is a wild element to the nose of tuberose or patchouli, I forget but that intoxicating scent of potpourri upon uncorking the bottle tempered with more air by red fruit and a seam or iron - quite magical on a picnic looking towards Reims in the distance over the vineyards of Cernay. Sun on my face, Spring round the corner. Definitely a hint of black tea which is also on the palette which has rounded out. What a singular expression of Syrah, so savoury it’s unreal. Thrilling, intellectual, mesmerising.
