July 17, 2022 - Absolutely superb... Generous sweet black fruit, soft integated tannins, plenty of pop. But really it's all about the garrigue! This bottle brought that Old World magic that's oh so hard to find domestically. Cracked pepper and olive, sticky mix of fresh herbs. Lovely.

第三天，气味还是很好，口中，变和谐均匀了，非常好。 -

May 11, 2019 - Wow, this was a real thinker... this expression of Syrah found the four tasters struggling for descriptors, but what a tasty struggle! On the nose we found tapenade, thyme, white pepper, blueberries and sage. On the palate we found all of the above, plus earthy flavors like mushroom and escargot. The finish went on forever and as all the savory flavors fell away, the fruit just lingered. I've never tasted any wine quite so spicy and was thrilled pairing this stunner with grass fed filets, brussel sprouts and mushroom risotto.
