  December 10, 2020 - This was the first of two bottles which I feared had languished far too long in my cellar...
  
  But it was a revelation! Sweet red fruit on the nose with a beautifully balanced, earthy, grainy palate. I might even open my second bottle of this on Christmas Day in the hope of another fleeting moment of hedonism.

  September 15, 2020 - Deep fruitiness and firm tannins with interesting pepperiness and acidity. Some smokiness. Softened from 22 years in the bottle.

  April 3, 2016 - Surprised to find this very much alive, even quite typical for Cornas; some blood & barnyard here, dark fruit, albeit everything on the lighter side, this is still the poor mans Cornas. Needs air, but a point to drink now with the traditional food. #withU&A-apresNYC
