Faury Condieau is hard to beat — 11 years ago
Really better on second night! — 9 years ago
Has more leather/tar than the Faury 2015, more serious but not as alive and fresh. Feels more Southern than Northern Rhone. Still, so much density and substance. — 9 years ago
Pomegranate molasses/thick red raspberry fruit, but sufficiently lifted and bright such that it is refreshing. Nose brings to mind Faury Syrah but it's smoother and less feral, feels stem my but polished; obviously not the elegance of a Côte Rôtie but managed an elegant balance nonetheless. At 16€, back up the truck. Roses come to mind with air, and it seems to gain conviction, even alluding to the tiniest meatiness. Yum. — 10 years ago
