  August 28, 2023 - Absolutely spellbinding. From a perfect specimen. At apogee and should hold for some time.

  September 6, 2022 - Commanderie des Costes du Rhone - Fall 2022 Kick-off (Claud): A lovely example of a good wine with the right amount of age and in a nice spot and everything just firing well together. This isn't always my producer or my vineyard but this was a very enjoyable wine.

  December 6, 2021 - Intronizzation Night for Rhone (Lafayette): From a magnum. One of those surprise wines. If you'd blinded me I'd have gone with 90's. It's still almost on the young side and quite fresh. Fruity. More of the hermitage style of syrah. Drinking well and one of the more unique bottles of the night.

  October 28, 2018 - European cellar purchase. Ullage - mid neck. Cork was completely dried out. Decanted into a narrow/tall water beaker. Moderate sediment. Initially, watered down and a muted nose of red fruits. Two hours later, aromatics increased - the most unbelievably ridiculous nose of dried red berries (child flashback: grape Hubba Bubba). Light bodied. Moderately long finish. A gorgeous wine. I don’t know if it improves, but it held in the beaker and only improved with air. A sommelier said this bottle showed much better than another bottle the year prior.
