Exploring Northern Rhone Syrah (Paris): bricky colour, fading at the edges. Nose of dried flowers, potpourri, pepper, spicy. rRed fruits, a little cocoa, well-integrated tannins, good length. Delicate Cote Rôtie, in a very good place.

Bu avec le Clos de Cuminaille 2007. Superbe tenue, avec une touche de velours et de délicatesse supplémentaire. Bien en forme ici encore, plus féminin. Délicieux, Ne gagnera plus.

-- popped and poured -- -- tasted a single pour non-blind over approx. one hour --
Seems to be in its prime window, and maybe even in the back half of that window. A little bit of stankiness --- could be a little bit of brett, could simply be aged character, or even a little bit of both. Regardless, this is drinking well now. Gut impression score: 90.

Good. 12.5% alc. Colour: dark red with some browning Bouquet: jammy plum characters, raisins, Christmas pudding Palate: as bouquet, dried herbs and spices, tarry and leathery, full bodied, big tannins, very dry long finish. A bit disappointing. Probably kept it too long, though others' comments for the past few years suggest similar ordinariness. On the 2nd night this drinks better. Less jammy and more emphasis on dry raspberry fruit and herbs with nice grainy texture. Upgrade ranking as a result, but still not as good as I had expected.A little coarse even. May 2021
