This just always shows incredibly well even though not one of the most popular years in the 80's. Opened and decanted and it was in a great spot. Not going anywhere anytime soon so now rush on these, but it's the darker fruits and a bit of that iron ore style and just felt very balanced and well structured. Enjoyed.

Rhone Commanderie dinner (Little Park): Def contender for WOTN. This was really good. Also surprising because it's still I'd say a bit too young for my tastes. Which is crazy. Some redder fruits, a bit of the iron and blood character. Really nice structure. It's one small step away from total integration but heading in the right direction. Very tasty.

Same bottle as Rocknroller and Chablis28. Decanted for sediment and poured immediately. Not much on the nose at all. Beautiful on the palate with expansive flavors, nice balance and a lovely finish. This bottle for sure is past peak.

Round, balanced, typical northern rhone notes of blood, iron and leather. Fairly round and balanced. Still some years ahead, but won’t get better

What a nose! Classic rhone. Blood. Meat. Game. An utter delight. Cote rotie doesn't get much better than this. From SJW
