Antonio Vallana e Figlio

Gattinara Nebbiolo 2005

2005. Primal nose, very closed. Hints if rose petal, tar, cherry pit and loam. Reminds me of Chiavennasca grapes from Valtellina. — 10 years ago

Domaine Vincent Paris

La Geynale Cornas Syrah 2010

Thought provoking Syrah. Smells of blood and game, primal cave man wine. Generous attack evolving into a linear sharper symmetry. #nextlevelshit — 11 years ago

Ma Danseuse Pinot Noir 2012

I figured I'd see what the big deal is and pop one of these bad boys. Big fruit nose and great symmetry but slight heat is holding me back from going up a few more points. This has the stuffing for greatness in 3-5years when it comes together, bit for now still quite primal. If you like your Pinot young and ripe then go for it, but I will wait a few years. 94pts — 10 years ago

Les Alliés Pinot Noir 2012

A primal, bloody Pinot Noir that combines subtle red fruits with iron and blood. Hedonism in a bottle. — 11 years ago

Pierre Gonon

Saint-Joseph Syrah

9.3

In an intensely fruity-bordering-on-sweet stage of its development right now. Very primal, seems to have the structure to evolve out of its flamboyance and move on into being dry and complex. — 11 years ago
