For me, David Croix, without a doubt, crafts the most compelling wines from Beaune, and this 19’ Bressandes was certainly exemplary. I absolutely loved it. It wasn’t bombastic and I reckon could easily be overlooked in a blind, but it embodied everything I love about red Burgundy in its most classic form. Not indulgent, fresh, fine, and refreshingly pure, with not a trace of overripe sucrosity to distract from its understated beauty.

The nose unfurled with cool, fresh fruits - a lively mélange of black and red berries layered with subtle bunchy aromas. Delicate florals weave through, underscored by the quiet intrigue of black tea and the chalky minerality that only air revealed. On the palate, it was all substance without weight, medium-bodied yet vibrant, its energy carried by a bright acidity that invigorated the senses. Spices and dried herbs unfolded gently in the mid-palate, giving way to a finish of fine, resonant salinity. What a beaut！ — 3 months ago

Great effort in this not so great vintage.
Well-balanced, soft, supple, lovely fruit, some stemmy/green notes of course, some spices and minerals as well and sufficient stuffing and body to boot. — a month ago

Inky in color with a short brick rim.

Full-bodied with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel.

Showing black currants, cooked plums, cedar, tobacco leaf, herbs, spices, vegetables, black tea, tar, light earth and peppercorn.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 15 year old Washington Syrah is drinking very nicely now. In your face kind of wine. Bold, extracted and definitely delicious.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 90 minutes of airtime.

Robert Parker 92 points. Wine Enthusiasts 93 points.

Peaking now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next few years.

100% Syrah grapes from Red Mountain were aged in (50% new) French oak barrels for 12 months.

14.4% alcohol by volume.
