Been sick for a week, not all the way better, but today is Valentine’s Day and we’re having wine with dinner. Aromatics are alluring with high toned red fruit & a black tea note. The palate shows beautifully ripe red fruit leading to darker spicier notes and a textural tannic grip. Lots to unpack over the years with this as these 16’s will only get better with time.

Looooooved this. So bouncy and so pine-y! I drank it cold, like past the point of chilled, because no wine fridge or central air, and I thought it was perfect that way? — 7 years ago
Not quite as good as Prieure Roch's gamay but still quite fun — 8 years ago

Stinky, reductive, needs lots of air & time to breath. Funky cab franc which many won't like. — 10 years ago
Erityistä ajankohtaa odottanut samppanja, joka korkattiin korona-aikana synttärikuplivana. Mausta löysin omenaa, paahteisuutta, pähkinäisyyttä ja mineraalisuutta. Suutuntuma oli jopa kermaisen oloinen ja kuplat lempeät. Hyvä samppanja tämä! — 5 years ago

Nice flinty reductive properties that envelops into a rich minerality. Not lacking in fruit with some cantaloupe and lemon rind. Overall a great expression of Côte d'Or as a white wine with the complexity and familiar body of a red. — 8 years ago
Fresh, slightly green (stems?), primary. Warm fermentation? Quite lean on the palate. A bit more fruit would help. Very clear but a bit lacking in beauty or lushness. — 9 years ago
Just plain drinkable with a lot of red fruit, pretty CF aromatics and just a touch of funky-earthiness. — 11 years ago
Loved this wine! So complex. Brioche, nutty, high acidity. — 5 years ago
mmmm. started out super funky, dark juicy fruit, milky. as it sat for a minute it warmed up and got more tannic and chewy. say medium tannin, balanced by medium acids and dryness. definitely bolder but not overwhelmingly so. super enjoyable. i love seb david ❤️ — 6 years ago

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. — 7 years ago

Nice wine for $20. Cherry fruit and some healthy tannins, but relatively light. Nice with turkey; would be good with a lot of foods — 2 years ago
