August 25, 2020 - Has lost a lot of its complexity and fun in the bottle, indicating it’s either closed right now or heading over the hill. Cellar stored since release and splash decanted prior to serving. Notes of cola, blackberry and a bramble finish. Nice enough. But I’m neutral on this one.

But I do think that patience will be rewarded; they're all pretty young by Rhone standards. I'd give your other bottles a couple of years. -Jason Haas, Partner & GM, Tablas Creek
