  Heater week; 3/8/2024-3/17/2024 (Chicago, IL): I preferred this a little bit more than the 2013 tonight. It's a little more black-fruited and full on the palate, which I appreciated. Darker complexion, more richness and depth on the palate, and just a slightly more intense wine.

  This was excellent, and perhaps the best 2014 Northern Rhone I’ve had along with Gonon. It’s a vintage where the silky weightless texture of the producer shines through. I get raspberry fruit, strong black pepper, light green olive, a touch of leather. This one is all about texture and should do awesome with more time sideways.

  Blind - guessed Cote Rotie, then Cornas. Was more polished than I was expecting from Cornas but made sense once the producer was revealed. Dark purple fruits, quite spicey with a rather gamey peppery profile. Drinking pretty well but there's still considerable structure here--tannins and acidity.

  A suggestion of meat and leather to begin with. It breathed up wonderfully well and had such pure raspberry and blood plum fruits. There were notes of bacon fat, licorice and violets too. It was plush and layered and had perfectly ripe tannins carrying the long finish. Served from Magnums.

  Typical Allemand violets. A good wine but not quite as exciting as the other bottles on the table this night.
