Wonderful blend of grapes that results in a champagne of note. — 6 years ago
No. 2 in the Vosne Romanee bracket. Some spirity oak notes. A sweetness to the palate with drying fine Tannins. Re- tasting:- Not quite up to the others in this bracket in terms of weight. A little alcoholic and clumsy in this company. My least pointed at 95 points but still a Gold Medal! — 7 years ago
Jaune très clair
Nez sur la cire les fruit jaune et l épices
Bouche assez charnue en attaque puis plus delicate avec une belle acidite
Finale longue et savoureuse avec un peu de sucre residuel — 8 years ago
Stinky, reductive, needs lots of air & time to breath. Funky cab franc which many won't like. — 9 years ago

Loved this wine! So complex. Brioche, nutty, high acidity. — 4 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

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. Happy Valentine’s Day! — 5 years ago

If there is a better match in this world for lobster than aged Chenin, I haven’t found it yet. This off-dry wine has tremendous pretty florals as it opens. Some nice minerals and just enough acid to keep it interesting. — 3 years ago
