9.3

2022 vintage. Last tasted 3.27.25 (9.3). Decanted and tasted after 10 minutes. Medium/medium heavy body. Espresso and Ground Control to Major Tom earth notes in the nose. Flavors swayed by bigg blackberry (and corresponding acidity) on the back end. Feel like the overt BB acidity will dissipate/intigrate in the next two-three years but, for now, offers a refreshing Côte-Rôtie style with fruit, earth, body and versatile tannins. 12.7.25. — a month ago

2022 vintage. Seduced the last few years by this producer's "Vieilles Vignes" St. Joseph efforts. This one rolls in the mid $20's resto cost and has washboard abs. Tough to say no for the QPR and I didn't. No fat on this effort (unlike the VV) but an excellent food wine. 03.27.25. — 9 months ago

There are two kinds of st Joseph. This is one of the good ones. Long finish. Complex. Quite serious. — a year ago

Earthy and floral on the nose, earthy notes follow on the palate. Fruit is present but takes a back seat, has a savory finish with soft, somewhat chalky tannins — 10 months ago

Bessards-Greffieux. Tastes 3 years old 😂😂 enveloping richness tempered by sturdy tannin and that classic Hermitage granitic bite. Layered, some part coarse and angular marrying with some parts supple and round. All working very well IMO. The Faury finesse and subtlety is there, this is a thinking wine, perfect for not sharing on Father’s day. — 2 years ago

Like silk with full, well- rounded fruit & mouth-feel. Just about perfect French Syrah! — 6 months ago

Dark ruby color with purple highlights and a slight garnet rim. Savory aromas of wet earth, ripe black fruit and coffee. Ripe blackberry, black currant and blueberry lead the palate with additional hints of espresso, charcoal and Asian spices. Long and very earthy finish. Extremely concentrated, vibrant and well balanced. Settling in to its “sweet spot.” — 10 months ago
