Community Tasting Note

Thursday, August 18, 2016 - The Rotating Dinners, I.5: Blinds from Around the World (Chicago, IL): Served double blind in a flight of syrah. Easily guessed as Northern Rhone, but I instead went to Cornas. This was a very feral and wild bottle of syrah, with lots of meat and olives, and tons of rusticity. Perhaps the tannic structure here wasn't as firm, but it was that wild quality about this wine that stood out for me. The palate is quite silky, though there is still some of that feral animale quality. Showing very well now -- I've said before that I find Levet a bit too wild, but perhaps a bit of age does tamp that down a little bit. That, and blind tasting.
