January 7, 2023 - Wine Night at TCC (Timuquana Country Club): Probably the wine of the flight at least a bit because it was the oldest wine and there is a certain regal-ness that comes with that. Well integrated. A bit subdued in style, but drinking nicely.

January 7, 2022 - Very full and fresh here. Quite bright for Cornas. Could benefit from more bottle time.

December 12, 2020 - Having successfully integrated its tannins, now showing good depth and soil tones and yet reasonably refined for Cornas.

June 12, 2019 - Pure, slightly austere, medium dark cherry fruit, some creosote, very nice though still fairly tannic and rustic. That straight arrow character that is Clape.
