Reddish tawny. Youthful nose. Notes of black currants, blackberries, herbs and spices and some menthol. Silky in the mouth, although at first it comes off as delicate. With more air, some spice and white pepper notes develop, and this goes full on Chave and Hermitage power on you... Not bad for Syrah that's pushing 40 years in age!

Oct 15th, 2021Tawny with reddish amber rims. Dark yet translucent. Great old Chave nose. Black cherry, wet forest floor, smoked meats, menthol, slate stone and rhubarb notes. Vibrant in the mouth right out of the gate. Lots of structure and pucker. Fruit present but starting to fade. This was at peak first two hours and then started slowing down, opposite of the Trimbach CSH next to it. Still this was really good ~37 yr old grape juice.

Drives like a 🏎🔥🔥🔥.
Feb 26th, 2017Light ruby with some reddish orange in the rims. Translucent. Very floral nose with blueberry, menthol, slate, warm blackberry and some smoke and wood. Huge structure in the mouth with still some tannin present at first. With a few hours of air this developed more sweet fruits in the nose and became more rich in the mouth. Great finish.
