This is upper level Beaujolais. Depth and texture in spades. Nose has perfectly ripe dark cherries and berries. Spice and crushed granite in the background, and a fresh-baked bread-like note. Deeply flavored (as one might expect from 50-yr old vines), with deep fruit, acids, and stony minerality all working together. Some very fine-grained tannin provides a little chalky feel in the finish. This will last and improve a few more years but is terrific now. — 3 years ago

Reticent nose, fine tannins, still very primary, very enjoyable but better to wait another 10 years for this. — 5 years ago

It’s the colour of dark roses and blood. Lovely perfumed aroma with a hint of fragrant plums. Some flowers (maybe roses and lilacs?). Flavor is earthy with lots of leather, but it’s lithe and smoother than I expected from 100% Syrah. Plenty of tannins in there. Feel them on the tongue, teeth and lip. It’s an elegant, pretty wine. Clean and easy to enjoy. If it was a bit stranger and more complex it’d be stunning. At the price point of around $20 it’s great for a night with friends talking and enjoying the joy of wine. — 6 years ago

9.1

Low yields in Northern Rhône 2013, but the quality of the fruit is prevalent here. Structured and well-integrated fine grained tannins at the five year mark. The nose explodes out of the glass with finesse and doused complexities. Definitive Syrah nuances of black raspberries, black plums, black olives, fresh cut violets, cracked black pepper, Indian spices, grilled and smoked meats, and stone dust. Light weight but packs a continuous release of flavors. Nose and palate changes from fruit to floral to spicy to meaty. As you move to different areas and rooms the wine changes. The more air it gets, the more meat starts hanging out. Complex indeed for a $20 bottle. Great showing. — 8 years ago
