May 14, 2022 - Great condition bottle. Pronounced elegant whilst rustic, peppery, leathery, spicy nose with a little mushroom and funk. Delicious and juicy palate with very long finish. Magnificent

December 31, 2020 - A beautiful powerful yet refined Northern Rhone. Loads of pepperiness and deep red fruits. The complexity is amazing as different flavours and attributes come through.

October 27, 2018 - I have little to add to my TN of a bottle of 2 years ago other than that I find this even better than a recent very good bottle of Clape's 96; richer, fresher and better integrated. Excellent.

July 12, 2018 - Highly enjoyable once it had time to settle down. After a few hours, this showed layers of crunchy dark fruit. Very vibrant wine and it has this alluring cool-inflected character. I expect the savory elements to become more prominent as this gains additional complexity. Not sure this will ever be grand but it will be very attractive for a long time.
