Absolutely delicious. Was worried it would be too young, and gave it a couple hours of air. Excellent aromatics, dark fruit, bit of olive, good earth. Great depth on the palate - really coats the mouth and lingers in a nice way. Good acid on the finish too. Nice pairing with turkish food. — 3 months ago

Beautiful, expansive and waxy nose. Beautiful aromas. Nutty but also vibrant and mineral. Palate is focused like a laser. Wonderful complexity already with gorgeous delineation and oh so much minerality. Just popped and a little bit out of sorts but I fully expect it to fill out. Terrific value. Wow. Long finish. — 11 years ago

Good from the pull of the cork or decant?

Probably needs 3-5, but pop and pour and gets better over 2-3 days.

Love 21 here. Utterly classic. It’s rare to have N. Rhône vintages that aren’t solar dominated. Terrific red berry fruit and the tiniest hint of brett that adds complexity and will blow off with some air. Leather, herbs and meat. Wow what a palate. So juicy and deep with terrific, ripe, juicy and substantial tannins. A mid palate opulence as well makes this so seductive yet it is also utterly.classic. The structure is noble like a Bordeaux. Really reminds me of Bordeaux. So juicy and dense yet nimble. Sappy and pure. Excellent. Really silky and supple now with air. Juicy and loads of spice on the nose. — 5 months ago

I love her style. Ballerina style St. Joseph. Ripe dark fruits, some game, some blackberry, camphor and dried flowers. Gorgeous and evocative nose. So juicy and silky with terrific silky tannins and great depth. 13's are in a great place now. Much fuller than on release. Good balance and purity and terrific concentration and freshness. — 9 years ago
