February 24, 2024 - Crimson rim; pulsates with dark fruit, whiff of tapenade & woodsmoke; rounded tannins & supple fruit; concentrated & real dept; extended. Yet to peak.

January 22, 2024 - Sombre! Opaque! Épais! Quelle texture, il en impose déjà visuellement.
Premier nez de Syrah rhodanienne solaire, bourré d’énergie, entre lard violette goudron, tapenade et mûre, qui fait beaucoup penser aux nez de Dard et Ribo.
La bouche, compacte, regorge d’acidité minérale, c’est serré (mais approchable, on est sur une 37,5), structuré, sec, mais très salivant. J’avoue que je ne retrouve pas le style Gonon en finesse, ce 2015 me paraît plus extrême, presque plus cornassien….
Au demeurant, il reste assez impressionnant.1 person found this helpful Comment -

January 21, 2024 - This producer always delivers! This wine seems to balance concentration and finesse. Lots of spice, olives, and black berries. Super aromatic as well. Glad to have another 5 bottles.

January 20, 2024 - Pearl of Burgundy gala dinner: From double magnum. Some semblance of approachability compared to the 2017/20 tried at the EP tasting. More classical smoked meat and olive northern Rhone notes compared to the younger vintages that showed more natural tendencies.

December 9, 2023 - Blue and black fruit, olives, grapefruit, stone. Rich and intense, maybe a little funk on the nose. Still quite a lot of tannins left but starting to soften. Great wine! Drink or hold.
