October 27, 2023 - Northern Rhone Dinner (2012/2005/1998 focus) (Chez Lagragne): Lightly corked yet this had so much rich fruit and meatiness it almost fought off the TCA.

October 27, 2023 - (Mostly) 1998, 2005, 2012 Northern Rhône (Chicago, IL): Corked; clearly a darker-complexioned wine with black fruit.

December 5, 2022 - Nose: smoke, leather, coffee, bacon fat, tar
Notes: absolutely stunning nose and palate, the 98 is much more ready than I expected. With excellent elegance and finesse it is irresistable. Although one can expect slight improvements in the wine with a few more years of cellaring yet I think this is quite decent now already. The amazing espresso and meaty nose that is exclusive to la la la can never be replaced by anything else and this certainly deserve a lot of praising. Out of the three La la la I've always liked the Landonne and Mouline better than the Turque, with this experience in Landonne I'm very much looking forward to the Mouline of the same vintage.
Drink: now+

November 17, 2022 - Wine starts off astringent and I thought might have some brett. Three hour slow ox then a two hour double decant was not enough. Still improving three hours later. paired with fillet and pan roasted potatoes. Nose of dark fruit, Sous bois, mushrooms, etc. Palate is very deep and long… Very powerful.
Great wine… Needs a lot of time. Suggest at least a four hour decant. -

November 13, 2022 - Decanted for four hours before service - eight might have been better. Significant sediment filtered during the decant. In the glass, auburn-tinted pink at the rim, shading to dark, clear raspberry-maroon at the core. On the nose, raspberries, briny olives, and high-toned cedar. On the palate, beef blood, olive tapenade, mint, and kirsch weaving in and out of the spotlight, with a loose, open attack that quickly becomes structured and firm, relenting only slightly on the long, complex finish. Not a tannic monster by any means, and the raw materials are there, but this clearly needs more time.
