December 5, 2022 - still going strong. Age has helped smooth out the wine. Fruit forward but the oak has integrated and there is a balance of acidity and tannins. Gave this an hour decant.

January 28, 2017 - Wow, a very beautiful and delicious wine. We popped and then decided to decant which was a good call. It doesn't need to sit long. Dark cherries on the nose - graphite and pepper mid palette and a nice long full finish.

By Sean Sullivan
2/7/2009 (link) ***** points(Doyenne Syrah Grand Ciel Vineyard Red Mountain Vineyard) Herbs de Provence, stone and very light smoke aromas. Tart berries come through as the wine opens up. An elegant wine with a lot of structure. Textured and complex on the palate with berries and currant. 98% Syrah (Grand Ciel); 2% Viogner (Ciel du Cheval).
