  Saturday hangout at Domaine (Chicago, IL): Meaty and very classically Hermitage with enough density, even though the lightness of the vintage is on full display. Mature; drink now.

  Opened this beautifully resolved Rhone to accompany a chunky 40 day aged bone-in sirloin. Double-decanted for sediment (not that much, very fine) and then promptly started upon. Although not a particularly great wine - which I expected, given the vintage - it seemed in a lovely place, full of bloody sundried tomato, smoke, beef and damp earth, with refreshing acidity and a strong finish despite the lack of top-vintage concentration. Happy to take a back seat to the beef, but also shone when we finished the bottle after the food. The fact it's only 12.5% probably gave us the stamina to open another wine afterwards, too.

  Wine meet – 2002 Champagne and 2006 Sangiovese @ Lars: Second bottle over the last months and it has the same smoked, meaty, earthy and mature red fruit notes. Super.

  Lovely nose. Mature smoked, meaty, earthy but also some red fruit notes. A mature wine that is just lovely now.

  Brisket, Bordeaux, and Rhones: It's in a very nice place right now, a little soft, but elegant and complete.
