For the price, this presented strong performance, but lacked depth, complexity and power you experience with the delas les bessards. Cool black fruits and well judged oak create a very classy drinking experience. This was relatively tame and had a powerful yet weightless elegance in the palate. — 8 months ago

Wide open poet, a little like the Qupe Marsanne, not quite as deep and rich, though — 3 years ago

Komplex och koncentrerad med riktigt fin textur. Nötig, rökig, mogen citron, vitt te, nektar och gula plommon. Bra vulkanisk vingård norr om Tokaj, den klart bästa från WineWaves tokaj-låda. — 5 years ago

Вялый перляж. Цедра лимона и апельсина, персики, садовые яблоки, грильяж, сверхтонкие нюансы дыма и творога. Красивый цельный аромат. Тело средней плотности, вкус стартует с нот взбитого с сахаром желтка, продолжается крепкими цитрусами, свежеиспечённым белым хлебом, маринованным виноградным листом. Бодрая кислотность, чуть оксидировано, глубоко и долго. 18/20

2013 vintage. Primary fruit evident. Some bread notes. Stone fruits. Quite round. Acidity less noticeable. But bitter on finish. Pretty good. — 11 years ago

2020 vintage. Decent value for Cornas. Big body. Lots of smoke and fruit with structure but not as much as Cornas usually invoices for. Hyperactive and needs to relax somewhat. Maybe in 3-5 years? Has 9.3 potential in there somewhere. 3.6.24. — 2 years ago

Terra orca is right! The earth is coming at me and I’m seeing red. But not the red of fury, the red of passion, the red of pleasure, and the red of desire. One sip of this and desire for the pleasure of passion from this wine endures. The palate parties with minerals. — 4 years ago

HWT - very nice red and enjoyed with a spicy red sauce - but if it’s $105 then 2x as much as I’d pay. — 5 years ago

Just starting to drink well and should improve and hold steady for the next decade. Is St. Joseph the Gigondas the Northern Rhone? A little under the radar, can deliver tremendous pleasure and value and at the same time, can be frustratingly inconsistent. — 5 years ago

2009 vintage, disgorged June 2013. 100% Pinot Meunier. I'm starting to love the unique flavor profile of this grape. A beautiful streak of acidity right down the palate, with a hint of fruit that just rolls around on the mid palate, making it a fun bottle. — 8 years ago

Note, in 2019 hail cut yields by 40%, Deep Ruby with concentrated aromas of ripe dark fruits and spices. On the palate flavors of black cherry and blackberry with leather, licorice and smoky herb notes. Fine tannins, hints of oak on medium+ finish ending with fruit, herb and earthy mineral tones. Nice! — 3 years ago

Chalk, seashell, green apple and green gooseberries. Some lily and honeysuckle. And white pepper on the finish. Powerful, tensely coiled, with screaming acid. Not super approachable now but serious wine that should age well. — 5 years ago

This is really rich voluptuous stuff. It’s low dosage but it’s not minerals on steroids. There is beautiful pear with light ginger here. Very balanced. Perfect for an appertif but would play well with lots of foods. He’s a terroir guy and it shows. — 8 years ago
