  👃 Jammy blueberries marinated in nail polish remover.
  
  Not my cup of tea.
  
  Perhaps this was an off bottle - a friend had the same wine on the same night and did not get the same acetone aromas as we did.
  
  I put the cork back in the bottle and revisited the next day, but to no avail.

  Four hour decant, this has that rich nose of an oaked syrah, with dark cherry, chocolate notes and a touch of garrigue. Almost too rich for my palate but the firm tannins and slightly zippy acidity lend it the balance it needs.

  This wine needs a full decant after standing upright for at least a few days. Decant not to open it up for drinking (a patient 10 minute swirl in glass would do that), but because of the unusually large amount of sediment.
  The wine was quite good, an esteemed producer for sure. But the last 1/4 bottle (day 2) couldn’t be drunk. Quite possibly this is due to bottle variation. Stuff happens.

  Purple rain! Exotic floral perfumed nose, lots of layers, outstanding nose that reminded me of the 2015 Gonon drank last week, rich sweet barley like in the mouth

  Opened for 4 hours before drinking, paired with Japanese wagyu sirloin, excellent pairing the young full bodied wine cutting through the high marbling wagyu, dark red, black fruits, plums & spices, delicious!
