  Perfect storage and no cork seepage; paired beautifully with grilled rack of lamb and roasted veggies. Exceeded my expectations greatly based on the mixed reviews, and I'm looking forward to trying the remaining 5 bottles over the next 2-5 years. Enough body to hold up to smokey, grilled, fatty food, but also was enjoyable on its own during the pre-dinner cook. Tannins well integrated, but the fruit shown through strongly with few secondary characteristics. Good to drink now, but also can probably improve through 2025. Definitely not a burgundian-style Cote Rotie, but not also distinct from bordeaux.

  This also seemed bigger than it’s stated abv (13%), and with an oak signature as well. Somewhat plodding. B-/C+

  Not far from the earlier showing, albeit more côte-rôtie in character, the oak seems fully integrated, yet it is still a smooth operator, tell-tale notes of black olives and smoked bacon, it has the coolness of the vintage, less so the sauvage-character, that one might seek ... a very good wine, indeed, just less and less to my personal taste

  vin classique, concentré mais sans surprise.
  Meilleur le lendemain sans toutefois être particulièrement marquant.
  Je pense qu'il faut encore attendre quelques années en espérant qu'il s'améliore.

  Starts of a bit of a brute, dark, tough, concentrated, with air, it gains personality and you get more of your classic top notch syrah qualities, bacon, leather, dark fruit, olives etc. - but had it been served blind, I would probably not have guessed Côte-Rôtie, and those who likes the appellations connection to Burgundy - it is not here. Good wine, nevertheless.
