1999 Thierry Allemand Cornas Reynard

Drank alongside 97 Chave. I preferred this, but not by much. Both were excellent. I’d say this is still improving, but close to peak. A meaty, rustic wine with some classic olive notes in the background. Very nice balance and acidity. Not much tannin left (but did throw off a lot of sediment).

From red solo cup while on a fishing boat, so notes are limited. But this has taken on a really nice savory character. Even from plastic cup, the nose was quite nice. Fan favorite.

1998 Chateau Musar
10/17/2023 - jondrinkswine Likes this wine:
Very perfumed with a dried potpourri of red and purple fruits, with VA to provide lift. It’s funny, I often find VA very off-putting when I encounter it (usually in old Barolo), but somehow it works so well with Musar. Dried red fruit profile has a delicious sweetness that leaps from the glass. Cranberries, pomegranates when first opened gaining weight and turning into ripe strawberries and spiced cherries with air. Gorgeous secondary and tertiary elements accentuate the fruit and floral profile: meat, licorice, tea, smoke, cedar, and spices. Long spicy finish. This ‘98 was right up there with the epic ‘99s I’ve had over the years.
