January 25, 2021 - Notes of juicy blackberry, violet, and olive. 2011 wasn’t a great vintage for the northern Rhone, but this has matured into an excellent wine.

December 6, 2017 - Decent Cornas, a bit stemmy, got bigger with time in glass, tannins showed a bit more with air. Had matching acidity at first but the tannins dominated over time. Straightforward wine, lacking in complexity. Fruits were bright and a bit low on the savory/olive note.

October 25, 2015 - Fresh, stylish, balanced and food friendly, but rather timid and slightly thinnish Syrah. After 24 her opened, recorded and put in the fridge, there was a side note of beets and barnyard - although that was as shy as the fruit beforehand.
The 2007 empreintes was drinking better at this stage. But on day three the savoury salinity of this wine came to life and made me a believer.
Reminds me of domaine du tunnel in style. Deceitfully simple and fresh, yet with all sorts of interesting but low key deliciousness hidden beneath the surface. The nose after a multitude of hours open is just to die for. -

December 11, 2014 - Violets, raspberry-blackberry note, anise, fruitcake spice with slight cinnamon; good dry extract, medium+ body, fresh fruits in the mouth and a slight powder sugar note. Well made, good structure, classic.

November 23, 2013 - Good wine. Has a sweet cherry flavor on finish I wasn't a fan of but this faded with time and food. Needs a few years to calm fruit. Had bottle a few days ago so don't remember exact tasting notes but will post when I drink again.
