Lovely day in Morrison with the gang for our ward cody and clint show!!!

Dry dark fruit. Tannens are very present. Definitely get the bottle, Jodi. Who drinks just a glass? — 2 years ago

K Vintners
Morrison Lane Syrah 2013
Ten years on and this is magical with an hour in the decanter. Extremely aromatic with macerated wild raspberries and eucalyptus. Just a touch of garnet in the glass, the flavors are fresh and savory. Wild berry, faint olive tapenade, and spice. Great balance, if not a bit hot at 14.5%.
Blind tasters were in the Rhone but new world characteristics make themselves known with more time in the glass. This is delicious. Drink or hold. — 6 months ago

Chanterêves
Dessus de Montchenevoy Savigny-lès-Beaune Pinot Noir 2020
2022/9/11-13. This was interesting. Despite the style and availability, I haven’t had a ton of Chanterêves, but have thoroughly enjoyed what I have had - and given what I read from Jasper Morrison, I was pretty excited for this. Right now though, it is very young indeed - wild and intense. It’s got a crunchy, juicy feel, with plenty of lip smacking acidity, but also a powdery concentration one doesn’t see much in Burgundy (at least before global warming...). The nose starts off wild, grapes, perhaps a touch volatile - one hopes it’s fine with the apparently low sulfur. Over time, beautiful floral elements and hints of spice show, but it does feel like this could use some time to settle down. — 2 years ago
Château Prieuré-Lichine
Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2015
Recently tasted 9.8.21, 7.28.21 and 6.1.21. Like the old Van Morrison album...a period of transition. Mid-palate a tad dumbed-down but the nose is clearer and airy with spearmint and tobacco. Some new cinnamon/clove infiltrating the bouquet and palate now. Still a little richness/baby fat/smoke lurking about but said intensities increasing less every time tasted. Really need to lock and key this until 2030. Good luck. — 2 years ago
