Singing. Total meal in a glass. Grilled pepper, Sunday gravy, lilacs, ground black pepper. Licorice root and freshly butchered red meat. Red fruited, lifted palate. Killer.

Generously provided by our guests. Super fresh, dark fruits with a bit of smoked meat on the nose. Dark fruits and wet stone on the palate. Already very approachable and delicious. Plenty of balance to be a pleasure for years to come.

Incredible amount of muddy sediment after staying upright for a couple days - no doubt that's part of the magic as to why this showed like it was closer to 10 yrs old vs. 16.

Pretty spectacular for newborn Côte-Rôtie w/ so much potential. All the components of great Syrah are there--let's just hope it turns out that way in 15-30...

My seven year old son had a tiny sip of this at the dinner table, and claimed that it had "too much flavor". Take that as you will (and don't report me to Child Services).
