February 26, 2024 - Same as previous TN, but better. Lots of sediment in this bottle. Super opulent without a mouthful of fruit. A very well made wine.

June 18, 2022 - Solid - a bit of oak stood out on opening but after a few hours it blew off - I reckon this could benefit from a bit more time in the cellar. For Nothern Rhône Syrah this is a bit high toned fruit - really nice, almost candied nose - w/ some hints of wet fur, etc. This really came around with plenty of air - acidity really high but it works - long juicy finish. Solid and delicious.

September 26, 2021 - Everything I like about No. Rhone wine. Rich and layered. Strongly recommend a decant.

March 14, 2021 - Really nice and absolutely ready to go. This is all cool, polished granite, with dark berries, beef, and stone. Ripe and clean, this isn't the wildest or most animale Syrah but it is stunningly pure and super drinkable. Texturally it's all there as the tannins have completely smoothed out - this just glides across the palate. With air a bit of wildness starts to show - just enough.
