Noël Verset
Cornas Syrah 1989
@Doug Powers I have never had the opportunity to get a taste
@Doug Powers you purchased on release?
@Ira Schwartz , yes. I also purchased other Verset vintages, 1983/1985/1986/1988/1990, most of which are gone, but I know I still have the odd bottle of this or that vintage.
Domaine Jamet
Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2012
Another great btl of this vintage consistent with my prior notes showing clean & pure aromas of dark cherry, raspberry, smoked meat, bacon fat with savory spice, graphite, pepper, olive & violet — 6 days ago
Paul Jaboulet Aîné
La Chapelle Hermitage Syrah 1989
This was still incredibly youthful. Would never have guessed ‘89. — 5 months ago

Excellent 08. Chave and Allemand really nailed the difficult vintage in Northern Rhône, and 2008 Hermitage is showing beautifully tonight, fresh, elegant and detailed with aromas of juicy red berry fruit, bacon, roasted herbs and smoky minerals. While not an exceptionally deep and concentrated rendition in 2008, it’s really a considerable success, and it’s fully open, giving and ready to drink. — 6 days ago
