Dark, inky Hermitage Syrah….has that extreme earthiness I don’t love in these northern Rhônes - you get it right on the nose, and then has a slightly acidic/sour after taste - opens up a bit after a few hours — a day ago

Deep dark brooding color with rich ripe nose and blackberries and dark fruit. A winner should evolve further over next decade. — a month ago

No specific notes but a very elegant, spicy and floral burg done by one of the finest we know. Really good bottle and recommended. Might be a notch or two better with another 5 to 6 years of cellar time. — 4 months ago

Garnet with orange edge. Powerful concentrated aroma. 1.5 hours, getting stabilized. But deep. Complexity. Forest floor. Spices. Aged. Dry. Good experience to feel same vintage between 10 years and 4 years. Hudellot - Noellat Chambolle Musigny 14 @590/G(3900 for 2018), Fred, 241102 — 16 days ago

I thought this was the most complete and elegant of the trio of ‘12 Cornas we opened. Dark fruited, sinewy, meaty and herbal, floral and spicy notes add interest to a long and dramatic finish. Plenty of life ahead — 4 months ago
