February 26, 2021 - Spices, red fruit, savory, and a sweet smoked meat note on the nose. Integrated tannins with good acidity and flavors of red berries, olives, and cedar on the palate. Nice and relatively long finish. Drinking very well right now. I don’t see much upside, but I also don’t see the wine decline anytime soon. Super enjoyable.

August 1, 2020 - Last wine of the evening and a bit of a surprise for me how much I liked it although I just had a small glass. This is a great example of a lot of what I love about the Rhone. Very well structured - there's a great precision to this wine. It's a bit lighter in style than the two we had during dinner (86 La Mouline and 00 Sorrel Le Greal). Just a hint of tart black fruits and again a bit more almost rocky. Drinking nicely, but I think many more years to go.

January 17, 2019 - Another PnP of this wine, coming on the heels of the Balthazar CdR - this is much tamer and more elegant on the palate. Still obviously Northern Rhone Syrah - but more mature and restrained. These wines are ready to go and should probably be consumed with the next 3-5 years as the fruit and tannins are fading.

December 30, 2018 - 12 Days of Christmas - 2018; 12/21/2018-1/1/2019 (NYC, Vermont, Lake Placid): PnP - an interesting wine probably fully mature at this point. I think this may have been one of Texier’s first few Côte-Rotie vintages and I suspect he was still working things out. It feels perhaps a bit lighter than I would expect. The fruit is pretty mature (blackberry) and there is some pepper and dried leaves and earth - not much of the savory olive or bacon or iron tastes though. Fine for quaffing but I don’t think will develop much further.
