  Grenache Night 2023 (Black Sheep, Santa Barbara, CA): Another fabulous bottle of this, my best yet. Still combining freshness and power, with plenty of structure and impressive concentration. Loads of dark berries, some minerality and spice. No evident oak. This was served alongside a splendid 2013 Erasmus, and frankly it was very hard to distinguish between the two. No complaints here!

  Some Priorat Giants, Plus a Bonus Wine to Boot (A Pristine Outdoor Setting Somewhere in Los Olivos): Still youthful in appearance, and while the powerful nose showed some earthy tertiary aspects, this wine has plenty left in the tank, and help up for the several hours we enjoyed it. Plenty of structure, with dusty tannins and impressive depth. Notes of dark berries, minerals, spice and some green notes. No evident oak. This should drink well for many years. To me this showed the greatest typicity of the five Clos Erasmus tried, but others perceived an outsized contribution from the Cabernet component of the blend.

  Wonderful nose and palate. This wine ought to be consumed within the first few hours - quickly oxidized and lost lots of its character within 2 hours !!! Drink up now.

  I know I said I'd hold on to my last few bottles, but this is always the vintage that calls to me. It continues to drink fabulously, and seems to hardly age at all each time I open one. Note to self: start drinking some other vintages!!
