(5/1/2021) "Notes of char, iron and tobacco leaf accent penetrating black-cherry and cassis flavors in this muscular expression of Cote-Rotie. Produced from 100% whole-cluster Syrah and matured twelve months in 30% new French oak, it's a weighty, intensely structured red framed by firm, gripping tannins and a delicately earthen, meaty finish. While nervous in youth it should hit peak from 2023 and improve another decade still."
(2/28/2021) "Alluring, with dark plum and cherry fruit that has been gently steeped, allowing it to meld with a range of violet, bay, anise and dark olive notes. Nice racy iron edge through the finish. Best from 2022 through 2032. 700 cases made, 265 cases imported."
