September 2, 2015 - Medium ruby, very youthful looking purple at the edge. Young, very pure fruit still - way too early to reach any final conclusions on this wine. Hint of bacon, some minerality. After 20 minutes in glass, clearly N. Rhone, not hard and not difficult to drink. Juicy salinity, good acidity and balance. Certainly not stunning, but I suspect this is going to improve with more time. I am encouraged.

9/2/15, 11:45 PM - @Seth Rosenberg: I believe most of these bottles were released through Rimmerman's Garagiste hype machine, and in doing so he implied he wasn't allowed to release specifics. Another taster (see below) seemed to have gotten his bottles more directly, and has it on good authority that they're from 2009.

9/3/15, 4:26 AM - wormfarmer is correct. This is a Garagiste purchase and has a no vintage on it anywhere to be found. I would never buy a wine like this from him at this point, but I bought several bottles of this. This is the first I've tried. Both Bonnie and I liked it, though it is not a good QPR.
