White peach, tangerine, citrus acidity. Always good. — 25 days ago
Pitted dark fruits on the nose. Very smooth and elegant feel with the perfect blend of fruit and earth. — 11 days ago
Used the Durand on the cork - soaked to the edge.  Decanted for 2 hours. 
This wine had some gaminess. Smooth.  Fruit was a bit wild and overpowered by the savory flavors.  
Paired well with the chicken skewers and onions.  Needed complex flavors in the food to pair well. 
Good but quite a bit below the Beaucastel  — a month ago

Earthy, a little gamey, smoky, animal/bacon fat, fruit is not quite as youthful as an identical bottle from a friend’s cellar tried last month, long, lingering finish, outstanding Hermitage, should continue to develop for another 5+ years!! — 4 days ago
