9.8

This is such an utterly brilliant wine. Just beyond. Nose is the most vivid olives and gorgeous blackberry fruit and granite infused love. 9.8 nose. Utterly captivating. Palate is rich and ripe but teeming with granitic energy. Unreal inner mouth olive aromas, and just insanely juicy and painfully concentrated. Unreal length and I only showing 10% of itself and we are at 9.8. I will be back. Wow. Unreal finesse now and length. There is a dark evil to this wine that adds to the overall vibe. Outrageous florals now an hour in. Really meaty element now as well. So supple and silky but firm structure, minerals and granite on the finish. Tannins getting more imposing but ripe and sweet. — 18 days ago

Barnyard nose - complete with hay, animals, wind, grass, mud.

Heavier bodied, with saline, cailloux, dried tarragon. Popsicle stick tannins, and lemongrass acidity.

Classic northern Rhone Syrah. Meaty, feral but still light on its feet. No as deep as the best, but a satisfying step below, especially for the price. — 8 years ago

Lovely texture, richness without flab. Mineral nose, tropical fruit on the palate. The quenching freshness on the finish really takes this to the next level. Lovely. — 3 years ago

As good as last time. I confirm. And there's pepper. Very herbal. Somewhere at the top of my list. — 6 years ago

9.1

Just what the doctor ordered. The aromas alone make this a winner. Savory aged meats dusted in peppercorns and herbs. Palate is medium and finish isn't the wines strength, but the aromatics are the real deal. — 9 years ago
