  Filled with peppercorns- textbook Rhone Syrah. Paired with potatoes au gratin.

  18 months since the last bottle has brought positive changes. Gone is the weirdness, replaced with balanced consistency: black and blueberry, a touch of orange zest, well integrated minerality, acid & tannins. The finish is much improved, too, going on and on. This is sophisticated and feminine; NOT a fruit bomb. 2 more bottles for 2024 and 2025.
  
  Day 2 note: Severe drop off overnight, turning pruney.
  
  2/27/2022 Note: A berry cobbler nose isn’t quite replicated in the mouth, where clean, maybe austere, blackberry flavors and a mineral element that is more pronounced on some slurps than others, take the stage. Weird. At times I really like it and others, not so much. The finish is medium and accentuates the austere aspect. This may improve with age, but it fails to march along with the excellence of the vintage.

  Picota granate. Nariz intensa, goloso, con frutilla roja en sazón, matices vegetales y un toquecito de carne ahumada. Me faltó el lado floral (violetas) para ubicarlo... En boca entra bien, con un paso fácil, sin aristas, con un tanino muy pulido, agradable acidez, estructura media y bastante longitud. Muy bien trabajada la frescura.

  Warm spice and a bit of bacon fat on the nose. Just opened. Quietly owned by Chapoutier. And a lively mid palate. And long finish.

  I’m with DEARTH’s review on this, dry and savory with very little fruit profile, comes off very flat and wouldn’t buy again.
