Gestad Syrah

9.1

GE for Gestad.
Oh wow - they really nailed it in ‘21.
This has to be the most Burgundian Syrah I have ever tasted.
Upon opening this is _so_ Côte Chalonnaise Pinot - dark spicy cherry with a bit of structure & beef. With time more blueberry comes to the forefront together with some leather, a touch of rosemary, a whiff of freshly cracked black pepper. It remains hung somewhere between a Pinot and Côte Rotie. Very, very fresh & enticing.
Very fresh and Pinot-like on the palate as well. Juicy acidity, polished tannins. More Baden Pinot than Burgundy… but very precise, light, aetheric.
Blind I would have never said this is a Syrah!
Such a pleasure already now. And amazing value for money! — 3 months ago

Dry Creek Valley Cortina Zinfandel 2018

9.2

Tycker det är roligt att ge otrendiga druvor som zinfandel en chans ibland. Det här var nog bästa exemplet av druvan jag druckit. Vingården planterades 1972 med enbart zin (många andra i Sonoma är field blends) och vingårdsarbetet är mkt seriöst. Nästan pinot-lik upplevelse. Väldigt elegant! Rosor, kryddor, örter. Bra tannin och syra. — 3 years ago
