  5/30/2016 - MrOctoberfest Likes this wine:

  Meaty, bold Syrah that also displays a floral, delicate side. It was paired beautifully with Tenderloin of Wagyu beef with bone marrow custard in potato at The Inn at Little Washington. One dinner companion said that it was better than any of the La La's he'd ever had. I've not had any of Guigal's Côte Rotie's, but it was the best wine I've had this year. This still has at least a few years ahead of it before it starts to decline.

  This is still showing very well, lovely vibrant deep ruby.
  The jammyness of 2003 ameliorated by the viognier.
  Brilliant silky balance between, plum, blackcurrant and lighter fruit, shades of vanilla too.
  Quite delicious, and worth rationing out!

  Garnet. delicate nose. Strawberry, white current, pale vanilla, hints of fresh acid. Silky light tannin giving lovely finish. Improvement on 2002.

  Fall Fest Wines (Larry's): This was nice. No sense of being over done or roasted. Still young with black raspberries, grilled meats and some black pepper. Nice texture. Probably could use some more cellaring but quite delicious tonight.

  A-. Very enjoyable. This wine is in a nice place. Awesome nose of grilled meat and chocolate. Fine tannins in the front of the mouth with a somewhat light and elegant finish.
