  Excellent. Tannins quite resolved and ready. Good acidity from vintage to balance. Good winemaking finding the balance

  Ruby until a thin rim of lightening. Garrigue, dark flowers, and ripe blackberry. Medium weight. Excellent mixture of herbal and tart black fruit flavors with olive running through it. Outstanding acidity and more minerality than tannin on the finish. Drink now or hold for 5 more years.

  Excellent wine. Beautiful nose. Balanced and extremely elegant with fine complexity and a wonderful finish. WOTN for me among 20 wines or so. Drink or hold.

  Nez envoûtant sur les roses fanées et la violette. Cassis et mûre. c’est juteux et frais.
  La bouche est douce, élégante et enveloppante. L’acidité est bien présente mais on ne la remarque presque pas.Finesse, élégance et longueur. Tout es là sans le côté animal ou épicé caractéristique de la Syrah.

  Le vin dégage un envoutant parfum de cèdre, de baies rouges et noires écrasés, de tabac blond et de pierre concassée.
  La bouche est sensuelle, fondu et soyeuse. Tout est en place, il s'allonge avec finesse et grâce... Une excellente bouteille qui aurait possiblement pu traverser une décennie encore...
