April 23, 2024 - Exploring Northern Rhone Syrah (Paris): Very concentrated, hint of meat, pepper. Palate is strict, tannins not yet integrated, a little aggressive. I'm not sure they will polish. Aromatics are cornas-like, the more savage and animal syrah, olive, meat, pepper. Lengthy. A good and interesting wine without being a great one, lacks in terms of texture. A wine that calls for meat to provide a little fat and comfort, at this stage in any case.

The lightly damaged btl:
Arrived in pristine condition as a very attractive Syrah.
The heavily damaged bottle:
Undrinkable zombie gore. Disgusting! やだ。ヤダ‼️ -

April 14, 2023 - Very fruit driven notes. Cassis raspberry & strawberry. Intense robe of dark ruby. Nose more on the smokey and tannic character of shiraz. Tannins are present yet super drinkable now. Med alcohol & tannins. A wone with life ahead

April 2, 2023 - Nez intense de fruits noirs et d'épices. Bouche très bien structurée, avec des tanins gras et une belle allonge. L'acidité est mieux intégrée que dans la cuvée de base. Encore un gros potentiel de garde. A boire ou garder 5 ans et plus.
