  Needed some air to show it's best.

  Rhone Birthday 2022; 11/4/2022-11/6/2022: Not as balanced as Griffin's Lair. This was a little hot. Great expressive nose of red and blue berry notes mixed with smoke notes. Plate a little lean and thin, with austerity coming through on the back end.

  Terrific, after one hour open and sit, and getting better by the moment. Dark plum and cherry, very rich but wonderfully offset by abundant acid on the attack/mid palate. At least a 40 second finish, and still ringing after a minute.
  
  This is not going to get more balanced. Drink up. Lovely stuff.

  Our last bottle was ~9 years ago, and based on this one, I fear we've missed the prime drinking window - 2/3rds blackberry liqueur + 1/3 tapenade, and based on other similar wines, I wouldn't expect any positive evolution from this point.

  A 65th Birthday Celebration, Slightly COVID Delayed (EL Ideas - Chicago IL): Late night, small glass, brief note. Black plum and cherry with black pepper. Rich and dense, this is starting to show some age, and was better a few years back.
