  April 23, 2024 - At a Rhone wine theme dinner with friends, brought this, served blind, decanted for 1 hour, beautiful Cdp, most thought a Northern Rhone due to its spicy Syrah taste, great match with the 06 Rayas

  March 31, 2023 - Nose: musky, gamey, black fruits, leather, pepper
  Notes: opened for 4 hours before drinking, this wine is far from ready but shows tremendous potential. With a rather sweet nose and an oak driven palate, I can say the wine is sun kissed and ripe but simply needs a lot of cellaring before it can be approached. It is indeed my mistake to consume this so early. Perhaps another 10-13 years before one should even think about trying. I do appreciate the complexity of the wine and one can feel that it was never the intention to drink the wine young.

  December 10, 2022 - Gorgeous aromas of blackberry and plum laced with herbs and exotic spice. Good rich fruit and a refined structural backbone. At peak.

  October 27, 2022 - Mature bottle that had past its prime. Medium-full bodied with classic CDP notes but insufficient acidity that blunted the palate. The acid was burned up over the years, and the wine now tasted dull.

  March 19, 2022 - Mature, deep burgundy with an amber tint on the rim. A soft, gently enveloping nose centered on spicy blackberry fruit, leather, musk, caramel. Tart, with an intensity of flavor but not a hint of overripeness or heat. Leaves an impression of wildness... Really long finish.
