November 14, 2023 - Opened tonight with rack of lamb. Absolutely gorgeous: silky texture, lush red-berry Syrah fruit, generous acidity and an animale character that added to its overall complexity. I would put this wine in league with the Verset Cornas wines I've had in the past, just simply beautiful. It no doubt will continue to evolve, but depending on your tastes it may not get much better than it is right now.

It was stood upright for 24 hours before serving and was served at a cool temperature (65F or so). I doubt that several hours of aeration would hurt it at all, though, and possibly help if you like your wine to show more tertiary character.
