Short note. Intense black pepper, smoked meat, blackberry, black olive times 10, brown sugar on the nose; really unique dried rose aroma, almost Nebbiolo like. Excellent acid, superb balance; decant for 2 hours. Wait for 4 years and will probably be better. Fucking great. @Lyle Fass — 5 days ago

Flowery on the nose, slightly earthy but dominating red fruit and a touch oaky. The palate is pretty nice, medium bodied with nice dosage of acidity and fine grained tannins, the finale is nice with red fruit and a touch though of dryness. Pretty good despite the youth, preferred the 2016 and 2014 drank recently, but very glad to have many bottles in the cellar that will sit a few years. 90-91 for now.

Nez avec une touche florale, du fruit rouge, un peu terreux et un peu de boisé. La bouche est avenante, acidité présente mais bien dosée, tannins aux grains fins mais un peu asséchante en finale, compte tenu de la jeunesse. Bien aimé mais moins profond que les 2016 et 2014 bu récemment. Content d’en avoir plusieurs en cave qui attendront. — 6 years ago

Gorgeous clay-like nose. Juicy and dense, with insane tannin management, gorgeous granite, acidity, velvet texture, freshness and unreal energy. So, so sick. — 3 months ago

Surprisingly good, and as clearly northern Rhone syrah as any wine can be. It has the strong fruit and the floral complexity, but remains smooth on the palette and well balanced. — 6 years ago

As good as last time. I confirm. And there's pepper. Very herbal. Somewhere at the top of my list. — 7 years ago

No decant; straight from the Cave. Lovely spice aromas here (cloves, cinnamon, walnut), supported by fine oak, tobacco and aged cigar box scents. Complex. Medium-body, still shy! Plums, dark cherries and an iron-like close on the still tight finish. Rich fruits shining through but tightly restrained by still lively tannins. Impressive. — 8 years ago
