Lovely wine from patriarche — a year ago
Drunk April 9 2022Malu’s birthday. Possibly best wine in my cave better than 1er cru with everything you could want from Bordeaux — 3 years ago
Been over a year and this wine is singing. Nose is so expressive with granite, camphor, herbs, meat, olives, blackberries and smoke. So complex and expressive. Palate is energetic and rich but so supple and juicy with tons of blackberry and darker red fruits. Superbly long finish that just builds and builds. Unreal freshness and suave texture. Just stunning and only just opened. The nose is super leathery after air. — 10 months ago
Really coming into its own. Gorgeous nose of grilled meats, black olive, green olive, dark herbs. Mashed dark flowers. So layered, complex and ethereal. 2014. can be so good. Elegant and so supple with terrific granite freshness and fine tannins. Gorgeous berry fruit persists on the extended finish. Fantastic energy and depth here but also not as big as the important vintages. This reminds of the best off vintage Bordeaux from great estates. Really love this. — 6 months ago
Enjoyed this $25 red over dinner. — 4 years ago

Northern Rhone with squeaky clean winemaking, poised and correct typicity, this was a lot of fun to try out but am aging every other bottle at least 5 years! — a month ago
