Sep 15th, 2014Very good northern Rhone Syrah. Spicy meaty earthy balance still lively texture but more than ready. Another Aa value. Just saw two previous notes. At least one left. Had bought six.

Nov 6th, 2021Seemed to have gone over the hill. More acids then anything else though the bones and structure are there. Not bad with ribs for Evan's BD dinner at #25. Interesting! Tasted better after two days in Cali bottle. More enticing mushroom and forest floor on nose and livelier texture. Upping by 2 to 9
