Alex Hunt: On the nose, this has the arresting, devil-may-care vegetal exuberance of oldschool Cornas. In the mouth, it’s focused and slender but not too lean, and there’s a degree of underextraction that, in light of the slightly austere flavors, is a clever touch that absolutely works. There is plenty of depth and grip, and no more color or tannin than is necessary. Bold winemaking with a neat result—and quintessentially Syrah. 94

Andrew Jefford: Clear black-red. Another very cool and herbaceous effort on both nose and palate, alas. 79

Peter Liem: This is dark in tone and expansive in fragrance, its ripe fruit feeling floral and quietly assertive. 90
