  Heater week; 3/8/2024-3/17/2024 (Chicago, IL): From magnum. Wonderful stuff, among my favourites tonight just for how it showed today. Ripe black fruit, plenty of dried herbs, and a leathery funk that really brings the whole package together. On the palate, this is resolved, and shows plenty of spice and leather. A very highly praised bottle among so many others tonight.

  I found this 375ml in the back of the wine fridge while reorganizing. Had it with cheeseburgers and fries. What a treat. Best about 2 hours after opening. Ahhh really so nice. I thought about that scene from Last of Us. Great nose of bloody meat, smoke, earth, a bit of funk, cherry coke, menthol. Mouth-filling, long, almost like umami. If this were the last glass I had at the end of days, that would be alright.

  ESTG: Bandol not Zoom: Smoky with freshly tilled earth, cherry and tobacco. This was fairly flat and linear at first, simple, but it did improve considerably with air. Earthy, roasted, quite bretty.

  7th of 12, opened 90 minutes, perfect level, quarter stained cork, wonderful now after a shaky start (cf previous notes, last Feb 20), beautifully nuanced, fresh and remarkably gluggable given alcohol, some upside, 20 years. F+ (18)......and hopefully not a one off bottle!
