  Medium deep brick red.
  Aromas of coffee, hawthorn, blackberry jam, thyme, juniper wood and baked earth.
  Rounded delicate tannins. Blackcurrant vital acids and beautiful walnut bitterness.
  Palate of juniper berry, chocolate, truffle, cassis, rose and wood fire.
  A mature, utterly complex and elegant wine with vivacious delicate fruit, bittersweet tertiary aromas and a long classy smoky finish. Drink within 10 years.
  Tasted alongside Jaboulet, Chapelle 1989 and the present wine is not as powerful but even more complex and with livelier fruit than the matched wine.

  This has all the basic qualities I want in a very well aged LaLa but is a bit underwhelming. Doesn’t have the kaleidoscopic flavor profile of a really good aged LaLa where the tongue just tingles w energy and a new experience. But this is still really good aged Syrah. Bouquet a bit more flamboyant whereas on the palate a somewhat muted while still delivering enough. Glad I had with a meal at Dogwood, Blackberry Farm rather than on its own.

  Rhône or Nôwhere 2.0 (Malcolm, NE): Believe it or not, this is my first La-La and what a way to do it with a 1994 no less! Flintstone vitamins, gym socks, pomegranate, purple flowers, minerals like crazy…and what seemed like an impenetrable wall of granite. Tons of baking spices. Modern? Yeah of course but my goodness the quality is indisputable and this worked really well with Iberico pork cheek, mushroom ragu with lavender and thyme. The reality is, even at 30 years old, this is youthful. Drink now through, I dunno, 2044? Merci Matt!

  French theme, brought by SH, dark coloured & deep in complexity, thought a late 90s GC Burg, a northern Rhone, layers of layers of fruits, elegant & rich, a treat

  Initially an acidic bomb with little on the nose and no tannins.
  
  After letting it sit open, in the bottle for two hours, finally showed some life.
  
  Blackberry, earth, and spice
  Fine tannins mesh nicely with strong acidity
  A brief and slightly sweet finish
  Even after all of this time, not that much bricking
