  I love this wine. It’s seamless, fully integrated, and opens to meat, asphalt, and tasty, black and blue fruit notes over gravelly minerality and a suggestion of milk chocolate and black tea on the back end. Such a lovely articulation of place. The only shame is that only 298 cases were produced.

  Interestingly more fruit forward than prior bottles. Still nice. Ready to drink.

  Consistent with prior notes. Complex, balanced. Dark fruit shows more than pepper and savory notes. Looking forward to seeing how this evolves. Tremendous value.

  Similar to prior notes. This wine keeps getting better. Unbelievable QPR.

  Agree with Jeff Leve's tasting note. Cote Rotie without the funk. Excellent value.
