January 17, 2023 - Commanderie des Costes du Rhone - Spring 2023 Kick-off (Gabriel Kruether): Always a treat to get to drink Verset and this was no different although just a small taste. Nice blend between the feral and yet with this background of elegance and refinement to it. Sharper acid that is somehow well integrated into the wine.

December 14, 2018 - N. Rhones and other Treats (RPM Italian): En magnum, and what a treat. I loved the soaring, savory, meat aromatics. The palate has excellent concentration with soft, velvety contours. Still quite young and fresh. A wow wine.

December 14, 2018 - HDH Dec auction trip/dinners at SKY and RPM Italian; 12/13/2018-12/15/2018: From magnum. This is classic Verset. The wild, sauvage flavours of Syrah with intense meatiness, smoke, green olive, earth, and so much more going on, but conveyed in a remarkably delicate, understated package. It's a wine that whispers rather than speaks loudly, with aromatics that keep building with more time, and an amazing lightness of touch. Nobody made Cornas like Verset.

December 14, 2018 - HDH December auction; 12/13/2018-12/15/2018 (Chicago, IL): From magnum (right?). This is a dignified, gentle wine, with a serenity that seems quite distinctive for syrah. There's lots of briny notes on the nose, with a ton of olive tapenade, and a hint of charcuterie as well. The palate is also very soft-spoken, with black fruit, salinity, and meat notes all in quiet coexistence. Lovely acidity and fully resolved tannins. At peak now, I'm incredibly hard-pressed to see how this would further improve.
