  It should have been decanted and filtered, there is lots of age left. Great wine.

  Bordal chez Jean (Syrahs de Guigal): Aveugle. Robe prune violette. Très ouvert dès le 1er nez, archétype du Saint-Joseph bien vinifié qui donne du plaisir et de la facilité (dans le bon sens du terme) à boire.
  Excellent

  Comparative (Young) Northern Rhone Tasting (Birch Road Cellar - Chicago IL): Opened 3 hours, decanted 1 hour before tasting. Dense, brooding, and powerful, this is much more interesting than tasty right now. Needs cellar time.

  Eðalklúbbur, haustsmakk #1 2022 (Marbakkabraut 12): Mjög dökkt. Vanilla, púrtvín, romm, varðeldur og kol í nefi. Líka oxun, brennd eik og brunatónar. Svo á tungunni: Mjög mikil sýra. Dökkir ávextir. Plómur, krækiber og sæta. Líka brennd eik. Mér fannst þetta gott en við vorum alveg týndir í því hvaðan þetta vín kæmi.

  This just needs 5-10 years and it’ll be so good. Dark and brooding, lots of power, nicely balanced, a bit of heat which I assume will dissipate in time, 14% alcohol. I had the 2010 last Christmas Eve and it blew my mind. There is some great Saint Joseph available these days, representing terrific QPR, but I think this is one of the best. Cool label too.
