This full-bodied wine was still fruity, but it was also having a nicely tannic structure. The wine was providing very pleasant notes of ripe dark fruits and herbs, but even the funky barnyard notes were present. In my opinion, this wine is now very enjoyable and probably on its peak.

Wine group NR & SR dinner at A-Side Public House in St Paul MN. Samll pour from the other table. I love the vintage but still too tannic at this point, for my liking. This needs at least 3 more years for the structure to meld or perhaps a lot more air as I don't know how much air this got?? Right now, 90pts if forced to score what I drank tonight. This will easily be a 93+ wine with age or more air?

Monthly Tasting Group: All the Rhones (A - Side Public House, St. Paul, MN): Dark red color. Two hour decant. Drank a glass over an hour. Funky, brett, mushroom, spicy garrigue, horse leather, dark cherry, lacqueur, medium full bodied, classic Pegau. Not too much by any means, loved it. 93+ to 94pts.

Any Rhone (A Side Public House): The Pegau profile is evident, only a touch of brett on this bottle. Kirsch, garrigue, mushroom, leather and funk.
