March 14, 2024 - Agree with the top scorers below. Very seductive and elegant, but with real character- this was no boring, easy-drinking St Joseph. Unmistakable notes of olive, strawberry, cassis and, as it opened up, peppery spice. Had two glasses, then recorked and finished the bottle 2 days later. Was as good or better after 2 days. 93-94. I'm rounding up because of how much this surprised me on the upside and how well it held up over a few days.

December 14, 2023 - Aunque no alcanza el nivel del Saint Joseph de esta bodega, ésta syrah con marcado acento mediterráneo es una delicia. Madura de 14 a 16 meses en barricas usadas de 600 l. De color picota de buena capa. La nariz es atractiva, con frutilla del bosque en sazón, matices de flor morada, toques ahumados, especias dulces, aceitunas negras, cierta mineralidad y un fondo de monte bajo. En boca la entrada es buena, cuerpo medio pero pasa fluido, tanino firme pero bien integrado, bien de frescura, estructura media y atractivo final. Muy disfrutable y con vida por delante.

November 21, 2023 - Expressive blackcurrant and blackcherry fruits, violet, dried roses, olives, tar, smoke, sweet spices, swet stone, bit of garrigue. Just medium body and so smooth and accessible now than the Saint-Joseph. Charming with finess. 13.5%.

November 11, 2023 - I wrote last time I tasted this: Very sexy and seductive wine, with lots of blueberry, strawberry, rose, olives, some darker fruit, very round but elegant finish with modest alcohol. A stunner!
This still holds true, it is the Iles Feray to drink if you want to open one now! -

November 10, 2023 - Gonon tasting; 11/10/2023-12/10/2023 (Utregs Wijnhuis, Utrecht, NL): Very good, today not at the level of the 2019 imho. More structure, deep, but not as plush. Black fruit, bacon, a green note. Medium+ acidity, medium+ tannins, medium+ finish
