May 9, 2015 - Brisket, Bordeaux, and Rhones: Terrific on the nose, with brambly fruit and hints of leather and roasted meat, but the acidity is a little disjointed.

May 27, 2010 - Northern Rhone Night for Last Thursday (Willamette Wine Storage - Portland, OR): Dark plums and subtle mint scents show on the nose. Bright cherries show up on the front of the palate. Eucalyptus shows on the middle, and dark cherries and a light earthy note show later. The overall feel is a bit confusing because it's heavy in some ways, but delicate in others.

May 27, 2010 - Northern Rhone (blind) (Willamette Wine Storage): Nice textural aroma; light but deep. Much more on the palate, really weird and off balanced though; hard for me to pinpoint what was going on. Ack, the finish I can tell what's going on, and it tastes like vomit coming up after a full night of drinking Miller High Life and eatin' Doritos. Tons of volatile acidity; really off putting. It finishes like a dirty construction site. It really slaps me in the face and confuses me. No thanks... the finish is a killer here, despite the moderate nose and palate.
