October 8, 2023 - Sunday Northern Rhône Survey (San Francisco): Deeper ruby than the 2010. More high toned green perfume. Also chocolatey and relatively rich, but this is less harmonious than the younger vintage because of some VA, tart citric acidity, and grainier tannins. Delicious still but definitely less open and more finishing bite. I had a better bottle earlier this year that by memory was closer in style and quality to the 2010. Slightly off today? Now closed? At any rate, this needs more time than its younger stablemate.

March 27, 2023 - A Taste of Aspen; 3/27/2023-3/29/2023: Given 4 hours of air before pouring. Deep, almost opaque ruby. Forward scents of blackberry jam and herbs, smoke, and later, blueberry. Powerful, dense, and saline with great framing acidity, earth, and moderate tannins. Unbelievably impressive, youthful, and vigorous-I easily could have called it Cornas blind. This may take another 15 to 20 years to fully blossom.
The next day the fruit is even sweeter, and now it has some citrus peel as well. Marvelous.1 person found this helpful Comment -

September 5, 2022 - Fresh, elegant, refined, and sensuous, the wine is packed with layers of flowers, smoke, and sweet, ripe, elevated kirsch, the wine ends with length, purity, and energy. This has entered its prime time drinking window. Drink from 2022-2040.
