  December 31, 2022 - Clear dark red, in the nose scent of dark berries including blackberry on opening developing addition of more peppery scent later, on the palate clear blackberry and dark fruit including clearly notable hermitage taste - quite oneof the aha moments of life once having nicked a grape on the hill only to realize that unmistakably same taste in the wine. Later on the wine developed more dry notes, and some pepper on the palate to. Not the longest, but quite nice.

  December 12, 2018 - A week in the Northern Rhone; 12/7/2018-12/15/2018 (Lyon, Vienne, Ampuis, Chavanay, Hermitage, Cornas, St. Joseph, Condrieu & Paris): Barrel tasting at the Domaine. From 30 year old vines - with the bulk coming from the flatter sections. Aged 18 -20% in oak barrels (mostly used). Marc recommends holding for 5-7 years and will age for 25 years. Quite a transition from the whites, this is still a very young wine with dark fruits and earth, but the tannins lean to the silkier side (not as chewy as the young Cornas we have been tasting this week). Again I can sense the elegance here.
