I’m really hoping this is in a difficult stage. Much richer than I was anticipating. Lacked the energy to carry everything through the finish which was short. The flavor profile and aromatics were very northern Rhône though.

Opened gorgeously dark, fat and alluring and seemed to tense up after a few hours, recoiling into bright, dusty, spicy red fruit and florals. Don’t drink this yet

First, mortal bottle chez Gonon. Slightly spritzy, soda-pop style seemingly indicating instability and diluting focus, precision. Piscine style as slushie could be interesting. Have drunk '13 several times from both 750ml & 375ml and have never experienced a bottle in this condition previously.

Northern Rhône Syrah at this price doesn't get much better. I just wish more was available.

My kind of Syrah. Great intensity of flavor. Almost Cornas like.
