  February 20, 2019 - Vin färg, tät kärna, lite fällning
  
  Initialt mycket svarta oliver, sedermera mer sötlakrits, tobak, askopp, lite malört, rostat kaffe
  
  Torrt, strävt, väldigt härlig frukt i munnen, medium+ längd, lakrits i avslutet.
  
  Grymt prisvärt vin.

  February 5, 2019 - Dark fruited, extracted, marks of oak. Good depth and complexity, notes of smoke, tobacco. Interesting but not my style.

  May 18, 2018 - Notes écrites deux jours après dégustation.
  Très typique et classique. Étonnament le fruit demeure à l'avant-plan, framboise noire, viandeux, tanins bien structurants mais arrondis. Le lendemain ca tient toujours la route le coté animal reprend l'avant-scène. Un peu plus rive droite que rive gauche, St-Joseph.
  J'aime beaucoup.
  Faudra boire les trois autres bouteilles dans les deux prochaines années cependant.

  December 13, 2017 - In the words of my grandson Niko, "I like it". Had this tonight with a perfectly cooked prime strip steak with trimmings baked potato, balsamic mushrooms, salad and greenbeans.
  Typical syrah from the region, one of my favorites. Ready to drink. Unremarkable, as in well balanced. Full and rich on the nose after being opened a while, acidity immediately joined by delicious dark fruits followed by persistant refined tannins.
  Siundtrack suggestion, It's Good To Be King by Tom Petty RIP.

  January 16, 2017 - On PnP, very disappointing - musty nose, little fruit or much of interest. After a 1 hour decant, the funky noise blew off and the fruit came forward into a very nice Croze. Medium body with no tannins and good acidity - give it an hour + decant and drink now rather than latter.
