March 26, 2024 - Solid, resolved cöte rotie, but the fruit was waning and the oak profile of the producer still prominent. A commercial and "made" style, whom may appeal more to others than me. Ready to drink.

December 1, 2023 - Far too young to drink but you can sense the promise. Wall of purple fruit. Tannic. Somewhat simple but not unbalanced. 90+

November 12, 2023 - Deep purple color. Lovely black raspberry fruit with freshly cured leather and Ethiopian spices (clove, cinnamon, and coriander). Decent length and finish but surprisingly soft tannins for such a young wine. Decent drinking now and should last another 5-10 years but I doubt that this will have a long heritage.

September 15, 2023 - Un vin très loin de son pedigree. Au nez on a du mal trouver de la Syrah (plutôt Cabernet sur le cassis et le tabac). En bouche c’est très brouillon, entre un fruit noir beaucoup trop mûr et du végétal pas mûr. On dirait plutôt un Cabernet médiocre. Peu de longueur, pas d’élégance et le lendemain le vin est inexistant.

August 17, 2023 - Entering the phase where the deepest fruit has given in and tertiary aromas have entered the glass.
