Thomas’s Northern Rhone extravaganza (Cabotte): Showed beautifully, with quite a bit more interest than the two Sorrels... I guess Hermitage needs time! Still some tannin, indeed. Intense purple fruit, a sense of togetherness, and quite a long finish. Very good (and available for surprisingly little money for the quality, if this is representative).

Syrah at Cabotte (Cabotte): Earthier and much less sweet than either of the ‘4 or ‘07 Greals. It’s retained some really strong acidity and a lovely core of fruit; amazing for almost 30 years old. Pretty youthful - lots of life left! Really lovely and something of a surprise.

I liked this a lot, but it wasn't as fresh or lively as the last bottle I opened.
