Excellent vin qui passe trop souvent sous le radar. Super franc et au fruit croquant. Des cerises et des mures, de la viande, de la fumées, du poivre et un peu de garrigue. Les tannins sont fins et la finale bien longue est sur les minéraux. SPLENDIDE!

Consistent with previous notes, only in a nice window now. Spring violets, candied cherries, wet earth, and whiffs of campfire on the nose. The palate is round, velvety, and sexy, bringing deep blueberries, blackberries, creme de cassis, tobacco, mushrooms, and smoked brisket into the finish, which is sturdy but smooth and refined. Drink now through 2023. Technical score: 93. Enjoyment score: 93.

Super beau vin, mieux que mes précédentes. Textbook syrah ici, violettes, mures, poivre et viande. Nez sur les herbes, les fruits noirs et les épices. En bouche c`est ample. complexe et bien équilibré. Un beau vin gourmand et tout simplement délicieux! Les mures et le poivre dominent mais le bacon et la viande viennent suporter le tout sur des tannins polis et une finale longue et suave. EXCELLENT et pour encore des années.

Not quite as refined and elegant as I recall from two years ago. Perhaps it has entered a dumb phase? Opened and decanted a half-hour before dinner. Paired with mushroom pork chops. Violets, campfire, dark cherries, and meaty jerky on the nose and into the palate, lingering with excellent blueberry and blackberry notes. Sturdy acidic frame with thick tannins on the finish. Will hold my last bottle until 2020+.

This was thick and ripe. Came around but needs time. 2010 is more elegant.
