2002 E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Landonne
5/19/2024 - DoubleMagnum Likes this wine: 91 Points
I initially thought this was corked. But about 30 mins after popping, it changed. There’s some tea, leather, pepper and smoke. It’s mid-weight, quite tannic and quite balanced at the same time. There are some dark fruits but also some older leather, cigar box for added complexity. Paired nicely with Wagyu porterhouse steak.

2002 E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Turque

Medium garnet in color. Matured nose of old attic, graphite, pencil shavings, ink, followed by a decent amount of fruit with black cherry, bramble, dried meat and cedar. Smooth but well structured palate with refined acid still carried by enough fruit through the lingering end. This was my red WOTN.

2015 Pierre Gonon St. Joseph Blanc Les Oliviers
5/19/2024 - DoubleMagnum Likes this wine: 92 Points
Nose is a lot more elegant than the Guigal St. Joseph we had next to it. Notes of bee wax, honey, white flowers, bitter almond. Palate feels thick, creamy, viscous and unctuous, and yet it feels balanced. Nothing overpowering or overdeveloped. Finish could be a tad longer.
