October 21, 2017 - Really enjoyed this. Served with grilled spice rub strip steak, citrus/arugula salad, quinoa. Excellent complement to the food. WGMCCALLUM notes are pretty accurate to my taste. I'd suggest some differences however--fruit was not so sweet though I get the gist, and overall wine had very good balance. Lovely nose and palate with a bit of smokiness to go with herbs & cocoa, black cherry & plum/aged fruit, and floral notes. Tannin was quite integrated with this bottle. Drinking about perfectly now, and stayed fine from start to finish.

June 28, 2017 - Cloudy garnet. Dominant yeasty notes on the nose, with undercurrents of chocolate, black plums, and violets. Concentrated sweet fruit on the palate, full-bodied and bordering on syrupy, with a touch of vanilla and light acids. Impressive sweet tannic fruit presence on the back with a long finish. Fun to taste this different grape, but I'm not sure the wine comes together in the end. 50 + 16 + 16 + 7 = 89.

June 1, 2017 - Black cherry, undergrowth, violets on the nose. Intense berry and plum fruit on the palate with a slight acid frame, aromatic back notes, and a long structured tannic finish. Full, rich, and easy going. 50 + 15 + 16 + 8 = 89.

May 20, 2015 - I rarely get to enjoy a good Humagne, but tonight was the night. Comes across as a lighter styled northern Rhone to me. Black berries with hints of black pepper and dried herb aromas. Similar flavor profile, perhaps slightly more fruit-driven. Very good length. A wonderful Garagiste find.
