PnP. Great as always, really perfumed nose of violets, olive tapenade, herbs, touch of game, similar notes on palate with blackberries, and fresh acidity. Whether you like it or not, this wine does not leave you indifferent.

There is nothing I can add to my previous notes. This is very open, and bloody delicious. I'm wondering which way this will go; the wine definitely has the stuffing to age for much longer.

Another bottle of 2018, and it is again so open. Very generous in its black fruit, olives, flowers. Smooth and velvety texture, less tannins than I would have expected based on previous bottles I've tried. A wine that always impresses, and there is no shame in drinking this now.

Remarquable ! Certes 2018 plane sur ce Gonon avec ses accents très sudistes, son nez solaire, cassis confituré, mais la syrah rhodanienne se rappelle à nous avec la violette et de fines notes lardées. Comme tout bon Gonon il épate par sa précision, sa fraicheur minérale, sa finesse: il n’a rien de lourd et se joue du millésime avec brio. Avec sa belle texture élégante, il sait rester digeste dans ce contexte extrême, et déjà accessible. 93-94?
