Very nice showing in a difficult, hot vintage from which many wines are already over the hill. — 5 years ago

O. M. G. The real deal Cote Rotie. Stephan knows his stuff. A traditional baseline CR with some eccentric savory elements. Still the perfect pairing with lamb chops. — 8 years ago

Starting to soften just slightly and drinks well now with a short decant. Bright red fruits from the grenache, some darker and more savory elements from the mourvedre and just a touch of syrah which I can’t pick out on the palate but makes for a nice bouquet. — 7 years ago

9.0

This Syrah is deep, rich, and luxurious with a wealth of fruit. Black olives, game, licorice and spice round out the full bodied palate. A solid wine but hard to justify at $60.

More info: Sourced from the Rocks District of Milton Freewater. 14+ months in oak used 2/3 vintages prior, 888 cases. — 8 years ago

Olivier Huguenin

9.2

Énorme nez qui part de l'anchoiade vers le moka avec une couleur improbable ( sans aucun tuilé) pour un vin de 17 ans. La bouche est très classe, complexe, belle longueur — 9 years ago

09's are just a tough vintage. Amazing aromatics but the longer it stayed open the tighter it got — 11 years ago

9.3

Slight floral quality to the edgy sweetness and gorgeous black fruit. I suspect some co-fermentation here (Viognier). Lovely, lively, and lithe on the palate. Plenty of acids here, so this will pair with nearly any meats. Just to reiterate, this is not your typical Paso syrah (no offense), but an elegant rendition of the grape. — 11 years ago
