  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?

  Aromatically already beautifully open with a gorgeous nose filled with dark fruit, olives and bay laurel. Velvety smooth tannin structure as is to be expected of a 2018. What surprised me was the acidity in this wine, for such a hot vintage it's super fresh! Already really nice, but there's more potential.

  This was a (surprisingly) open bottle, 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.
