  December 21, 2023 - Was pretty tight , didn’t fully open up as I would expect . Did not really carry the Syrah on its shoulders. A bit anonymous.
  This was a 18 year old wine that tasted international , without a home. I have another , no high hopes. Tasted with a group that could not sized this as Syrah amongst 2 BDX and a Pinot .

  December 29, 2015 - Carafée 1h20 et bue sur un chapon.
  Couleur rouge sombre, nez discret, belle longueur et quelques aromes de fruits rouges mais peu expressif.
  Le lendemain (après etre resté dans la carafe toute la nuit) : bouche beaucoup plus expressive et complexe, note d'épices et de tabac en plus notamment.
  Vin à attendre 3 à 5 ans au moins.

  July 24, 2015 - Finishing Contract Lunch (Restaurante Cuenllas - Madrid): Aspiring to greatness. I guess if it was too young to be enjoyed right now in spite those 12.8 ABV only.
  Aromas of thyme and rosemary dominate the nose when you were expecting cinnamon and clove 'cause its aristocratic origin.
  Well-balanced on the palate yet shortie and excessively dry (wood). Really pleasant after all. The last drink, the best one.
  
  Qué cerquita de la grandeza. Es para adivinar si simplemente era muy joven para ser disfrutada ahora a pesar de esa delgada estructura soportada por sólo unos 12.8 grados.
  En nariz dominan los aromas a romero y a tomillo cuando lo que realmente esperas son especias como la canela o el clavo por su indudable origen aristocrático.
  Bien equilibrada en boca aunque cortita y quizás excesivamente secante (esa madera). Muy amable de todas formas. El último trago, el mejor.

  February 12, 2011 - Saturday Tasting Group (Knightsbridge Wine Shop (Northbrook, IL)): Cinnamon, nutmeg, spice, meat. Lots of nice game essence. Smoke, dried raspberry. Well polished. Limited notes. Loved it though.
