  Parents wedding anniversary 2024; 3/22/2024-3/25/2024: Parents anniversary supper, 8 courses, 7 wines.
  
  Wine 6: Guigal Hermitage.
  
  Paired with Moose osso buco (second bottle after the Rostaing)
  
  Dark red color. Raspberries and blackberries on the nose with pepper and vanilla. Palate has pepper, black fruits, herbs. I couldn't get many more notes after all the other wines. Ive loved this Hermitage but it does need a lot of air and after the flavor bomb that the Rostaing was this fell flat.

  Syrah's of the World Blind Tasting; 8/5/2023-8/6/2023: Syrah's of the world blind tasting! 4 Syrah's, 4 continents, 4 gems!
  
  The 4 wines were served blind. 1st was Guigals Hermitage 2017 from France, 2nd was K Vintner, Cattle King 2015 from the US, 3rd was Porselenberg 2020 from South Africa and 4th was Penfolds St Henri 2018 from Australia.
  
  So for this wine, i normally drink mostly french Syrah and the first smell felt like classic Syrah from france, nothing odd, red fruits, spicy, a tad herbal. Enjoyable but not particularly impressed. Then with about 30min in glass (the bottles were open a while in advance) it evolved into something much better! It tasted young and energetic! And every sip after just got better. I started at something like a 92 and ended with a 95pts score on this wine. Very impressed by this as it was the least expensive of the bunch.

  Senteur de cerise intense et violette . Puissant avec cuire et poivron. Devrais vraiment être fou dans plusieurs années

  2021 Guigal single vineyard cote rotie release dinner (Bel & Brio, Barangaroo): A little closed initially, blackberry, a little plum, sweet spice, polished oak, a little plum, chocolate. A tiny sour note here, tannins are drying, chalky, and it seems, after the Ampuis, to finish quite short (it isn't short). Hmm.

  Bra men alldeles för ung. Behöver många timmars luft, eller, ännu hellre, några år till i källaren.
