With an octopus- light oak and after warming up a little full of minerally butter — 9 years ago
Mellow on the nose and likewise on the tongue. Rounded with hints of crisp red apple and just the right amount of dryness. I don't know that it deserves to be opened in a park square during a fire alarm. — 9 years ago

Dry bold red - great with steak — 7 years ago
Beautifully colored ruby red almost purplish wine. Tremendous black fruit, strawberry and very slight pepper on the nose. Being almost 10 years old, it exhibits a long finish with enjoyable medium firm tannins. Medium viscosity with bright acidity on the palate. The terroir is distinct from the other Rhône stars appellations. Paired excellently with duck. — 8 years ago
Dark purple burgundy in color, smells of savory meaty component, blackberry, cardamom, white pepper, tobacco and fig, balanced acidity wets your mouth, full body with round mouthfeel,tastes of black cherry, pepper, licorice, black tea and roasted suckling pig, medium to long finish, excellent structure and way too easy drinking.

Very good, smooth Rhône, easy drinking. Delicious, not too heavy — 7 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
