Syrah at Cabotte (Cabotte): Earthier and much less sweet than either of the ‘4 or ‘07 Greals. It’s retained some really strong acidity and a lovely core of fruit; amazing for almost 30 years old. Pretty youthful - lots of life left! Really lovely and something of a surprise.

Not corked, but clearly flawed, perhaps oxidized. Still good underlying fruit. Hopefully just a bad bottle

On the nose: Smokey BBQ meat, earth and black fruits.
On the palate: Smokey BBQ meat, black fruit, spices, Taggiasca olives and earthy notes. Full but ripe tannins and a long lingering finish.
Drank from magnum. The most savoury/meaty wine I have had so far in my wine journey. Quite far in development but still very much alive and kicking.

BYOB dinner NOTK (NOTK, Rotterdam): [From magnum] This bottle was singing! Medium+ intensity with bacon, meaty, blood, smoke, olives, black fruit. Medium+ acidity, medium+ (fully integrated) tannins, long finish. So good and so rich, great

Deep garnet red. Aroma of cherry, wet earth and varnish. Great flavours of blackberry, chocolate, spice, pepper. Very savoury/meaty, with balancing acidity. Delicious.
