Friday, October 27, 2023 - (Mostly) 1998, 2005, 2012 Northern Rhône (Chicago, IL): I really liked this -- there was an intense strawberry note that was somewhat unexpected. Very fruit-forward and almost lacking a bit of the usual elegance of La Turque. Black pepper, but not much brine or smoke. Silky tannins, but a big, powerful palate that actually feels pretty resolved, even if the overall flavour profile could benefit from another decade.
