  January 12, 2024 - BYO at Ariana II (Ariana II, Kilburn): A dichotomous wine: iron, olive and stony savouriness counterbalanced by beautifully floral notes and ripe dark fruit. Very expressive. Initially it's smooth and velvety on the palate with moderate acidity and a touch of dark cherry sweetness. Just missing some mid-palate heft at this point. Then followed up by some grainy tannic bite: it needs time but has a lot of potential.

  May 28, 2023 - 2017 N Rhone and Friends (Winchester): Lovely nose - some discussion as to whether it was like claret - I was on the side that it was, a little spice (although evidently only old oak is used). This was proper. If it were a recording of “what’s so funny bout peace love and understanding” it would be the original Brinsley Shwartz studio release.

  December 31, 2022 - Erstatning for en korket Clape Cornas Renaissance '14. Bek mørk, ugjennomtrengelig farge, lilla kant. Middels intens, sødmefull duft med masse mørke bær, særlig krekling og bjørnebær, et svakt vaniljepreg. Ungdommelig men åpen og generøs smak, ‘chunky’ munnfølelse med sorte bær - litt som å tygge en neve med krekling iblandet et par bjørnebær, litt blåbær, et lite enebær og en knivsodd vaniljesukker. Middels tanningrep, ganske markant syre og dette er ikke så gæærnt til pinnekjøtt, faktisk! Det søtlige bærpreget og den rene syrestrukturen skaper en slags harmoni og balanse med det salte pinnekjøttet.

  November 17, 2022 - Wonderful nose-rep pepper. Black berries and currant on the mouth. Light leather and tobacco. More tannic than I was expecting. Excited to see on my other bottle to see this in a few years.
