  October 2, 2022 - A Panzer bottle.
  
  This bottle redeemed itself on Night 2. On Night 1 I tried 1.5 glasses from a Coravin and it had a profile similar to a $18 Guigal Cotes du Rhone. It was thin and devoid of any CR character.
  
  Prior to Night 2, I decanted for about 8 hours at room temp; rebottled for about an hour. This proved to be a smart move. The wine took on more weight and depth. Some CR character emerged, but it left more to be desired at this price point. A bit of briny/olive character with a minor ash characteristic.
  
  This is not a poorly made wine, but it begs the question on pricing for this particular vintage. I'll stick with Levet, Jamet, etc.

  August 18, 2022 - This was a funky wine. On night one it had very little fruit, a ton of brett and was very ashy. Night two it can around a little with brett fading but remained light with no intensity or fruit. Ash, olive brine and some animal. A fine wine but just not interesting to me.

  May 15, 2022 - This was sick. For about 45 minutes was generic natty Syrah and then bukakke of dank vibes with blackberry fruit and smoke and hot tobacco and musky perfume. Dialed into a wave and never wavered. This was just intense and beautiful. No VA or other flaws. While also a dual label and imported by Source, is not really very Rotie. And even at 12.5 just bitch slapped at modern WA wine open at same time. Wow. A primal wine.

  March 6, 2022 - This was a Polaner bottle - sourced from Panzer. No obvious flaws. No VA. But either shut down or just not very good. I think the later. Kept half the bottle a day to see if it improved. It did slightly flesh-out, but consistent with the current designation. This is a 10E table wine.
