Unfined, unfiltered 2014 vintage.
Chamaleontic, funky drop.
Nose dominated by black olives in brine, preserved plum, soy sauce, balsamic, black forest fruits, cinnamon, clove, bay leaf.
Elegant palate, tannin in place and refreshing acidity with a good length.
Barossa meets the Rhone.
Amusing, intriguing and delicious.

Yep Mrs E popped another 🤣 the 09 Sass (10th try) & @ £138-£180 is going to be a lovely 😈 in time if Mrs E stops opening them 🤣 Notes similar as before but dryness is easing & other subtle changes appearing 😁

Incredible. Jaboulet family apparently inconsistent in final years of ownership, but this one had everything. So dense still, with lots of kalamata olive, olive brine, cherry, blackberry, black pepper, leather, cured meat, earth. Savory, sweet, powerful, elegant, hit every end of the taste spectrum. Super long. In magnum — 9 years ago

Lovely cool vintage St.-Joseph-ish style; black olive, sage & lavender layered over blueberries and bitter cherries. Bright and fresh, but you can find just as good for way less in the northern Rhône. — 10 years ago

Un petit intrus dans cette semaine bourguignonne... carafé deux heures avant. Nez de cote-rotie, poivre, vanille et olive. En bouche c’est complexe et puissant.... vanille, fumée, smoked-meat, olive, chocolat noir, violette. Le tout est bien marié et la longueur est persistante. Un vin qui a tout pour plaire. — 7 years ago
