First nose smells like little red fruit , regular during the the time , alcool taste come when it was open — 2 years ago
Bright red berry fruit aromas and flavors with earthy hints of tobacco and cocoa. Hint of baking spice on the nice finish. Medium bodied and quite rich. Nice. Thank You Ron B! — 3 years ago

Unmistakably old world. All savoury on the nose - truffle, cedar, salami, and spices. Palate is medium bodied but robust. Perfect balance between red/dark fruit, and savoury notes. Quite tannic. Still young! Amazing p/q. — 2 years ago
After a « simple » natural wine as an aperitif that seems simpler, we tell ourselves that this wine is not as remarkable as the label promises. The aromatic range is interesting, unfolding as you taste it. Typical notes of noble Syrah: violet, black fruits, pepper, blackcurrant, smoked larded notes. The volume on the palate is medium bodied and the finish might have needed a few more hours of aeration, as can be seen from the difference between the 1st and 3rd glass. Good but not wow
Après un vin nature à l’apéro à priori plus simple, on se dit que ce vin n’est pas aussi remarquable que l’étiquette le promet. La gamme aromatique est intéressante, se déployant à mesure de la dégustation. Notes typique de la Syrah noble: violette, fruits noirs, poivre, cassis, notes lardées fumées. Le volume en bouche est moyen corsé et la finale aurait peut-être eu besoin de quelques heures supplémentaires d’aération, en atteste la différence entre le 1er et le 3ème verre. Bien mais pas wow — 4 years ago
Pepper ok the nose. High tannins when first opened. High acid — 3 years ago
Awesome. Tastes like a mix of Napa and Bordeaux. Dark fruit, a bit of olives, earth, smooth, with that unmistakable “something” that separates great wines from very good wines (someday I will learn what flavor that is, I love it). On sale for $17, so I may buy a case. EDIT: I DID BUY A CASE. KILLER DEAL. EDIT 2: some coconut on the finish (but not in a weird way, think of it as barrel vanilla with more going on — 3 years ago
