'Victor de la Combe' White Blend 2019

Full bodied, musky and slightly funky, with a long finish. Great on its own, paired very well with scallops and asparagus. — a month ago

A Deux Pas Syrah 2020

Very juicy, fragrant, and nice! My only regret is that I didn't finish it the first night and by the next day it had turned unpalatable. — 9 months ago

Chemin de Sainte-Epine Saint-Joseph Syrah 2017

9.4

Nose is so seductive. Wow. Violets. Meat, dark berry fruit. Unreal granite and just so expressive. I’m thrilled how great this is. Stunning. Raspberry spice cake. Just sick. 9.6 nose. Smells like God’s Jelly Donut. Palate is juicy, precise and lean. Wow is this slathered with minerals, but seems a bit closed initially. But man is poised, concentrated and slathered with gorgeous minerals. Long floral/berry infused finish. Let’s see how this develops but so fine now. — a year ago

Natty funk I was not expecting on the nose. Gorgeous grapefruit cloudy color. A little tingly up front with nice minerality. — 3 months ago

9.2

Dinner white. Nose has granite and gras. Some exotic fruits and so vivid. Hint of reduction. Palate is so engaging. Granitic intensity, so pure and clean and just shimmering. Simple but so well made. Maybe some complexity will develop with air. Solid 9.2 for now. — a year ago
