Cornas Reynard (R) Syrah 2008

Another great one from the master that has an elegant, silky mouthfeel showing red & black fruit, savory spice with notes of glycerin, pepper, olive, blood & violets — 7 months ago

Brune et Blonde de Guigal Côte-Rotie Syrah 2020

Beautifully balanced with pronounced red fruit and distinct tannic structure. Only purple, red color with a nice acidity to complement red meat. A great wine now that can easily cellar for many years. — 10 months ago

Bernard Levet

La Chavaroche Côte-Rôtie Syrah

Full bodied, nose of very ripe fruit. Fairly acidic, not too oaky, still get hints of leather. Great with steaks, and even better with cheese (comté, taleggio). — 7 years ago

Domaine Auguste Clape

Le Vin des Amis Syrah 2015

Great but pretty tight right now. 2hrs of air have allowed it to unravel a bit but I'm probably not popping another bottle for a year or so — 8 years ago

Noël Verset

Cornas Syrah 1990

Lovely aromatics of earth, smoke and redfruits, very solid core of dried red berry and super savory flavors, still great balancing acidity, a little less of the rustic notes in this one compared to the 1985 Verset from last Saturday, long, lingering finish, another great Verset Cornas!! — 6 months ago

Domaine Jean-Claude Marsanne

Saint-Joseph Syrah 2019

2019 vintage. As rustic as ever. Blood. Earth. Plum. Stems. Heavy body. A step or two above a solid workhorse but not flighty. Tremendous punch. Could be wrong but think this producer only does Saint Joseph and Crozes-Hermitage and both are great QPR. 10.30.24. — 8 months ago

So overlooked and it’s maybe the most classic old school St Jo since Trollat. And way better.

@Lyle Fass Love this producer. Obscenely underpriced and that is not something I can say often enough.

Depth and concentration, this bottle is an ode to south saint joseph wines, with great balance and complexity. To achieve a better grade I need more finesse, but the vintages is also like that — 7 months ago

Another great vintage for this wine. Brilliant whites in St. Joseph in 2018. Nose is super granitic with yellow fruits, superbly refined and defined. Palate is ripe and dense with superb finesse, yellow fruits and old vine sap. Juicy with great mineral freshness and clarity. Long finish. Always such a great wine. — 5 years ago
