Après deux vins sur la retenue , celui-ci est beaucoup plus expressif, un parfum intense de bleuet, de poivre, de chocolat. En bouche c’est jeune, intense, soyeux... c’est gourmand. Première fois avec domaine Garon et j’espère pas la dernière. — 4 years ago

09's are just a tough vintage. Amazing aromatics but the longer it stayed open the tighter it got — 9 years ago

A very young and tight wine with great intensity. The fruit was dense and the spice and aromatics were beginning to evolve. It had great structure wth very silky tannins and beautiful length. #yvescuilleron #coterotie #rhonevalley #northernrhone #syrah #ctbucklinwine — 9 years ago

Tout est fondu, c’est équilibré, rien à redire si ce n’est un petit manque de complexité. J’ai adoré la finesse — 6 years ago

Slight floral quality to the edgy sweetness and gorgeous black fruit. I suspect some co-fermentation here (Viognier). Lovely, lively, and lithe on the palate. Plenty of acids here, so this will pair with nearly any meats. Just to reiterate, this is not your typical Paso syrah (no offense), but an elegant rendition of the grape. — 10 years ago
