Amazing. My words might do it injustice. Think Jamet though — 2 years ago

I'll start off by saying that I think less-than-ideal storage conditions marred this tasting with Kai. It's a struggle here really because I really like their Malaysian importer. I can understand the difficulties in maintaining an effective cold chain in Malaysia, so I sincerely hope this gets better.

Having said that, this was my favorite in Kai's line-up despite the slightly advanced wine. Good perfume, sporting smokey black fruits, herbs, spices, violets, and wood (which was a touch distracting). I felt the palate should have been livelier - dark-fruited, spicy, and earthy, with heavy charred notes permeating throughout. The finish has a lot fruit sweetness, with a lick of caramel and balsamic. Nice wine, though not one I'd actively seek.

To be frank I think too much oak was used here, but not in the same liberty as in Barossa Shiraz. It's more like Guigal vs Gonon... maybe that's a bit extreme... Jamet vs Gonon... though not quite right still. I like Kai, but I gotta follow my palate at times like this. — 4 years ago

This is great, but for a hundo+, I’ll take rostaing, jamet or even graillot. The syrah character is strongest but the subtle greenes from 10% CS is noticeable too... it also could use a few more years — 6 years ago

Gonon the magician. Still a bit wound with no decant, but that signature magic lies underneath. (I did not get to try the Jamet behind it 😥 ) — 9 months ago

Quite polished in every way. Hard to compete after having the ‘88 Jamet right before it. — 2 years ago

Showing some progression since LBT, fruit beginning to drop freshness a little bit. Salty and umami elements forward, curing salt and olive. — 2 years ago

Never disappoints. Actually smelled a lot like a slightly less smoked bacon version of the 82 Jamet in the beginning but really developed further as the evening progressed. Just a wonderful experience with this wine. — 5 years ago

17. 2015. Syrah needn’t be mature Cote-Rotie or big and brassy Australian. This is simple and simply delicious. Terrific fruit, remarkably long. Think of a somewhat richer Jamet Cotes de Rhone. Don’t want to let it age. But I have 5 more bottles... — 6 years ago

Pegau always drinks more like northern Rhone for me. Reminds me of Jamet with black olive, kirsch, and green peppercorn. — 7 years ago

Superb intensity and finesse. Beguiling in its ability to deliver concentration and elegance at once. Astoundingly long finish and just kept getting better with air. Jamet described his 2011s as silky - apparently true for Chave as well. Maybe not one for the ages, but this will be delicious in the near to mid term. — 7 years ago

Not something you’d see everyday - a Pfalz Syrah! Honestly it was a little boring after the Jamet. Good fruit purity and lovely spice. but lack’s the multi-faceted nature of the Jamet. A touch warm in the finish. — 2 years ago

Neck and neck with the jamet tonight but in need of so much time. More roasted dark fruit notes. Brooding — 7 years ago

Tres sympa ça, tout proche d'un st jo mais avec un peu de merlot qui le rends super goulayant! Vraiment abordable. — 7 years ago
