95 Points

Saturday, August 20, 2022 - Siggy's Annual BBQ (Chez Siggy & Jenny's Place, Mpls, MN): Dark red color. Splash double decanted for 1 hour. Drank a glass over 30 minutes. This is one of those wines that gets overlooked because of vintage generalizations. Well make no mistake, this is still La La at its finest. Sometimes not having the expectations or need for aging can serve you well. That's not say we're at a lesser level by any means either. This is always the kind of wine I want to drink; aged, maturing, showing finesse and character; such pretty red fruits with nuances of black and blue fruit, cured meats, earth and leather, a touch of damp funkiness, leather, minerals and tar. Just gorgeous. 94+ to 95pts.
