  March 26, 2024 - Très complexe avec des notes de cuir, de sous-bois et de tabac au nez. En bouche c’est très concentré mais pas extrait, une grande finesse avec une structure remarquable. Un coeur de bouche plus dense en aurait fait un superbe vin, mais bon à ce tarif, difficile d’en demander plus. Belle découverte.

  August 13, 2023 - I have never had a wine smell more like S-H-I-T ans I’ve had my share of Rhône’s. Like straight up manure. After a couple hours this lessened but did not completely resolve. Showed a rather dark fruited profile with some olive notes. Rather aggressive tannins. This didn’t get much air which I think was a big mistake. Best to hold.

  July 1, 2023 - A lot of talk about how great 17 N Rhone is showing just now, so thought I'd give this a whirl. Clean as a whistle - so much so that I'm wondering if previous dirty experiences were in fact with a different wine? On the nose - a hint of earth, a hint of blood, some black fruits. This feels like a friendly goth who only ever wears black but always puts his bins out on time. On the palate - lovely acidity, it's not screeching but it's very much there. Lovely structure - tannin and acid are marching in lockstep. Black fruits again, and some cherry stone perhaps. This will make old bones but it's lovely now. Yum.

  March 19, 2023 - Well. Clean as a whistle. On the nose - not super expressive but some earth, maybe black fruits. On the palate - lovely fruit, nice and linear, some structure from the acid and tannin, well behaved rather than thrilling but a jolly decent syrah. If this note seems curmudgeonly it's because previous bottles have been a bit too animale for me. If the rest of my bottles are like this it will be great news.
