  By the bottle at La Villaret in Paris. Nose is quite shy at this point, even after being open in the bottle for almost two hours, I’m really not getting mush of anything here. Maybe some ripe plums and a little alcohol. Palate is much more expressive. Lifted and fresh with ripe red cherries, cola, hints of violets, white pepper, slightly minty. More on the fruity side of Syrah than the savory side but not flabby or rich at all. Drinking well now and an excellent value at a restaurant in this case (~$100 at current exchange rates) but maybe not life-changing. Paired quite well with the meat-heavy cuisine though.

  60 minute decant. Nose of black plum and black olive. Deep black cherry palate shows depth with iron, chicory, and violets followed by tart strawberry. Elongated, smooth, and supple tannins with acidity and purple fruit, on the finish, adding minerals and rocks. Air gave it more complexity so give it a longer decant if drinking now.

  醒酒一个半小时，深宝石红偏紫色，闻香有紫罗兰，胡椒，泥土，草本植物，些许奶油味，入口酸度高，单宁紧涩，颗粒细腻，结构漂亮，黑果和甜香料的味道，余味是木质香气，还没有进入适饮巅峰期，但已经融合得很好，不是一个大酒，中等酒体，表现平和，酒体紧实，细节精致而富有层次，是今天喝到的复杂度和优雅平衡得最好的一支酒。

  Dinner at Highland. Tasted blind. Drank in Grassl Cru.
  Appearance is clear, deep intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
  Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of deep red plums, black cherries, dark red cherries, dusty stony earth minerals. Develping.
  On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium+ alcohol (14%), high tannins, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of deep red plums, black cherries, dark red cherries, sweet dark tar, stony earth, peppery spices. Big long finish.
  Very good quality. Not getting any of the floral Viognier notes here, perhaps already receded with age. Probably needs more age to develop some meatiness.
