I've enjoyed his entry level Syrah for several vintages and recently bought a few of his single vineyard cuvees and wanted to check in early to get a sense of style. With air it was suprisingly open and lovely the first night. Second night there was some noticeable THP mid to finish. I've noted this on his entry level syrah when open more than one night. While I'm OK with that on for his super approachable vdp syrah (that never lasts more than a night!), it makes me a bit nervous to invest in these higher end cuvees. Could just be variation. Curious to check in on this many years down the road.

First time trying this producer. Juicy, brambly fruit. Polished and relatively forward for such a young Rhône. Had this been blind, I think I would have been torn between old world and new. A little age will be beneficial here.

Meat meat and more meat. Loved it. Artisanal wine that paired perfectly with bbq steak.

A bright wine that is a bit disjointed at first but benefits from some air that helps focus the red fruit. Still, I prefer the Cessieux.
