  This was heavy, pruney and too Southern-Rhonish for me

  Lovely Syrah nose and fruit on the palate to back it up. Acidity a bit noticeable at the end, but generally well-balanced. Drink or hold.

  I've had a few other bottles that I didn't note in the last year, but they were all great and this is maybe the best of all. The mouthfeel is all velvet Syrah with dark fruit wrapped in savory notes. There is still tannin and I really love the shape and structure. This is great now and might even get better. I did decant it for sediment though, I hope Eric is OK with that.

  Another bottle, another confusing result. Mostly, I haven't liked my bottles of the Texier wines, this or the Brezème, with a few notable exceptions. But at some point of the bottle, I'll get a glass that seems to be tremendous. Then the next one seems excessively acidic and laced with volatile acids. Eric is well-liked and respected, he seems sincere and very knowledgable, and he gave a great interview on Dalton's radio show. So I don't want to do him a disservice. But I can't get the hang of these wines in any consistent way.

  Paired with grilled salmon w dill-mayo sauce, fava beans, Japanese sweet potatoes. Spice/sweetness good against these flavors, tannins soft enough not to overpower the salmon.
  Finished the bottle with chicken legs in mushroom sauce, eggplant. Equally good
