Cerises mûres. Acidité équilibrant une bouche sans exces d'extraction avec une finale doucement épicée. — 3 months ago

Excited to check in on this! Harmonious, lengthy, and heady with its perfume. Great memories of tastings with Bobby at my old job, this cuvée named after his son was always a highlight. To me it really focuses on the synergy that old vine Grenache and Mourvèdre can have. There’s a perfect balance of soaked red and black fruits, garrigue, and an exotic spice savoriness that I just love. Structural compliment is there, with the Mourvèdre’s tannic backbone countering the mid-palate weight of the Grenache. As with many 2012s in the Rhône, this has such a great personality, a match of elegance and richness that bring so much joy in the glass. Perfect for turkey day! — 4 years ago

Pretty nose. Shows a fair bit of Mourvèdre. On palate, purple of Syrah and garrigue of Grenache. Nose is more interesting. 2020. Quite fat. 15%. Climate change is real. — 7 months ago

Continuing the theme of France 2003 this weekend... Showing some age but in a good way. Color fading and tannins pretty much melted. Dried red fruit and sweet leather character. — 6 years ago

A spring chicken. Tons of cassis and kirsch. Sappy forest and cocoa nib, crisp elegant finish. This suckers good for another 10-15. — 9 years ago
