...The deep ruby/purple color is accompanied by a superb bouquet of spice box, cedar, leather, honeysuckle, and jammy black fruits. It is remarkably tender and soft for a vintage that produced high acid wines. Medium-bodied, elegant, and complex... Robert Parker

Very nice. Sleek, balanced and long. Has almost absorbed its wood. Has some elegance. Very easy to enjoy.

Incredible balance & opulence from another famous name but from France's forgotten Fine Wine region; the Rhône Valley. Classic Northern Rhône spice, structure & beautiful fruit. Fantastic balanced oak & a long, long finish. Fab. wine.

Most aromatic of the three Lala's. Feminine, airy aromatics, pronounced floral character. Resolved tannin, high toned fruits and a fresh spine.

Clearly not the best year. Bit of olives and earth but might need more time.

Stupid. This wine has 17 percent viognier.... Freaking 17 percent. It was a freak of nature wine..... Perfumed like crazy but blue fruit that only the northern Rhone or Washington state can produce. This is sexy syrah at its best.

Toast and pepper on the nose. Heavy pepper in the palate. Exceptional, even after only a 20 minute decant. One of the best wines I have ever had.
