2010 James Berry rough by our buddy Rob went up after the 2013 Alban Patrina. Wow, a Syrah blend with plenary of Grenache, it was more elegant and very smooth with velvet mouthfeel and red fruits. Long finish. Lovely evening. — 2 months ago

2023 Distenta V Syrah. Much more tightly wound than the Grenache.. 2-3 hour decant recommended. Lots of iodine, iron and tar. Will wait years before opening another. Baby killing for sure but wow. — 3 months ago

2013 intake. The label was scratched when I bought it, but the cork was perfect. Amazing wine started with the usual little Alban reduced funk but quickly blew off and licorice, iron, cinnamon and nutmeg with long finish. Loved it with Greek food at Athena Grill in Santa Clara, CA. — 2 months ago
