  Coming into its own. A bit astringent on opening but really blossoms with a couple hours air. Meat, olives, and sweet Gonon fruit. Hard to put down.

  Very typical syrah, blueberry, pepper, violet, this being juicy and fruit forward in Gonon style, but starting to develop some earthy notes, some bacon, I think I liked this even better a little younger, drink up!

  Good God Gonon. Poured blind to me. I guessed it as top flight Cornas. What a wine. Pure Rhône Valley blood. Pure tight fruit and structure and perfect balance. And this wine is Ardeche! I used to sell Gonon. If I still did I would keep every bottle for myself. Now I have to taste some recent St Joseph. Drink. You could hold it but man when it’s this good it’s hard not to drink.

  La maison Pierre Gonon disfruta de una merecida reputación por su trabajo en la zona del Ródano. En este caso trabaja con viñas jóvenes en las laderas de Tournon y St. Jean de Muzols y viñas de unos 30 años en las parcelas más bajas de Saint-Joseph. Atractiva syrah de perfil muy franco, con un color granate vivo de buena capa y una nariz atractiva, muy bien definida con seductores notas de violetas, toques aceitunas negras, suaves especiados y matices tostados. En boca entra bien, con cuerpo medio, tanino firme, buena acidez, suaves amargos, estructura media y bastante persistencia. Una buena aproximación a la syrah.

  Gorgeous nose of violets, pepper, olives. Lively, juicy fruit on the palate, good acidity and freshness. Spicy with marks of pepper and dark olives, this is a great vintage of this wine. Will it get better? I don’t think so. Will it age well? Yes, I think so. But I would drink this now for the sheer pleasure of the fruit and the aromatics and then wait for the St-Jo.
