Heater week; 3/8/2024-3/17/2024 (Chicago, IL): Darker, denser, black fruit here. Chewy tannins that still need a few years to full resolve, but there should be enough fruit here to last until then. Spicy and smoky, and more stern and less approachable now than the 1998 alongside.

Coravined. Very deep magenta color. Black cherry, plum, fennel, and some baking spice. Very smooth, slightly tongue drying palate, with tongue coating acidity. Round tannins on the longish finish.
Fun to try, but past its prime for my palate. I believe many will enjoy this more than I did (and I did like it).

Eastman NYE. Opened 3 hours ahead, but based on sample with very expressive nose, didn't decant u until just before serving. Lovely nose. Faithfully varietal palate. Nice wine if not truly exciting.

Consistent to previous, 'singing', this was at its peak.

Delicious, fully mature cote-rotie. Olive tapenade, red fruit and earth flavors and aromas. Smooth and drinkable now.
