Austere. Elegant but concentrated with all classic cool climate varietal aromas and flavours. Still very tight, even backwards, but promising. Green herbs, powerful tannins, tart acidity and slowly emerging, reddish berries unfolding on the unleashed finish. Best from 2025.

Way tooooo young. I feel guilty drinking it. Nice red fruits, blueberries, plums, black pepper, nutmeg, smoked meat, vanilla. Very high acidity, med+ tannins, very dry on the finish. It has great structure and potential but right now I didn't get much. Don't even think about cork it in 10 years. 2012 vintage

2004. Don't get to drink northern rhone nearly enough, but a lot of wine here. This makes up for it.
