Really wonderful wine, pure and true expression of northern rhone syrah, and with real density of aroma and flavor without excess of anything. This is my first vintage of this wine, and this is my last bottle, and I loved it enough so that I bought the next few vintages. None of them appear to have the potential to be as good as the 2018, though.
This is still too young for my tastes. Still quite dark and brooding and all seems quite closed up - not giving too much away. I'll try my other bottle in 2024

Color: dark ruby Nose: black olive, green bell peppers, burning fat.vdark plum. blood and iron. Palate: medium-full body, hint of sweet. Tannins are medium high but not soul deströying. Good medium-high acidity. The palate confirms the nose with a hint of dark violet that is quite enjoyable Finish: medium
We are in to drink zone with this one. It has a lot of good stuff going on with 30 mins of air already

Delicious young Syrah. Pop and pour and drank with a NY strip. Good acid and fruit
