The '12s have been a little too funky for me. Band-aid Bretty-ness dominates the glass. — 7 years ago
Amber hue with lovely secondary/tertiary aromas. Tannins still a little chewy. Medium-long finish. Can't wait to check in again in 5 years. — 8 years ago
Burgundian, balanced style. Red fruit profile, medium body and a long finish. Lovely juice! — 7 years ago
Still very youthful but in a good place. Red and black fruits and some animale on the nose. Sour cherry dominates the medium-body palate and the finish is long. — 8 years ago
Red fruit, sweet tobacco, and a long finish. Drinking beautifully now! — 8 years ago
Lemony zest, lovely minerality and a long finish. — 8 years ago
An absolutely beautiful, albeit light, expression of Syrah. 11.7% alcohol! 100 % whole cluster. — 7 years ago
A bit rustic on its own but delicious with food. — 7 years ago
Tasted the same night as the '01 Riserva. More purple hue and more black fruit profile on nose and palate. Tannins seemed a little less intense. Probably a product of the vintage. — 8 years ago

Nose is a bit austere. The palate is medium bodied with a sour cherry vibe - the acid is on the verge of being out of balance. Long finish. — 7 years ago
