Côte Blonde Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2019

9.5

2019 vintage. Last tasted 07.30.23 (9.5). Good lord. This is still (unsurprisingly) effing ridiculous. Explosive and giving without being compliant. Every time tasting this, attempt to renounce Cabernet Sauvignon/BDX blends forever. Hopefully someday, I'll make it stick. 02.28.25. — 9 days ago

Rene & Pierre are a hell of a team. A great Rhône producer more should become familiar.

Vignamaggio

Riserva Gherardino Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2014

Had this about 6 months ago. Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa was born at the beautiful Villa Vignamaggio in 1479, at the time her father, Anton Maria Gherardini was Lord of this ancient Tuscan Estate. Deep Ruby with aromas of fresh dark/red berry fruits and slight smoky spicy notes. On the palate Black Cherry and Cranberry flavors, well balanced with acidity and fine soft tannins. The finish is long ending with earthy citrus character. — 5 years ago

Takes a while to open up - had it in a decanter for 30 min and it needed more than double that. But once it opened, my lord, was it good. Soft, supple approach, with raisin and molasses, and more of the fruit seeping through in a warm, spicy finish. — 6 years ago

9.4

2003 vintage. Just enuff acidity to lord over the proceedings. Initially, “cheesy.” That dissipates somewhat and gets very harmonious very quickly. Cleans up a bit on the finish. Should be able to glide hither and yon for another 5-7 years at this level. 1.10.24. — a year ago

This is not my style but quite the blockbuster wine. Chewy, dense, still tight & lord knows we could have waited...red fruited, what gorgeous fruit & integrated tannins, surprisingly. Drank at sunset, outside, on a gorgeous Sunday evening. — 5 years ago

What a delight! Herbaceous with hints of manure at first, then giving way to sweet and sour cherries. Fine acidity, drunk too young. Lord it went down quick — 6 years ago

Thank you to my good friend Andy Bunch for bringing this beer to try tonight. A rare treat for sure. Took a while to open up, bit man, it’s hitting its stride a couple hours later with notes of semi sweet chocolate, espresso liquor, brownie batter, vanilla, toasted nuts and almond oil. A rich brew with a 15%+ ABV. Black as old motor oil and super mouth coating. Yum yum yum. — 7 years ago
