    August 14, 2022 - My 3000th TN! And what a generous pull from my friend and favorite Somm.

    Cork was pulled and decanted vigorously for about an hour, and it needed it. Lots of spearmint and wood driven spice tones. Deeply extracted, dark pitched fruit. Quite ripe and high in alcohol, even with some eucalyptus. You can really see how the high end aussie shiraz of the 90s/00s we’re trying to emulate this classic (and gigantic) wine.

    August 13, 2022 - Small taste in a rather warm room but this was quite nice. Showed some heat but ripe dark fruit with spice intervoven.

    July 8, 2022 - Fabulous wine, very dense and complete. Still young though, good as it is now it will be better in time. Red black and blue berries, herbs, olive, and smoked meat.

    January 31, 2022 - Austin 3-star food + wine; 1/30/2022-1/31/2022 (Our residence, Austin, TX): Fruit was slightly jammy and stewed. I love La Las but seemingly prefer vintages without the heat spike of 2003. I don't think age will improve this vintage, as it would most other vintages.

    December 17, 2021 - Dark color, incredibly dense fruit but the tannins are soft enough that this isn't too young to drink now. There's an exotic spice running through the wine that sets it apart, and I kept coming back to how deep and neverending the fruit seem. It's a monster in a tuxedo, a huge beast that can play nice.
