December 16, 2023 - Still drinking well, although my expectation is nearing the end of the drinking window. Was excellent paired with a reverse seared prime ribeye steak. This was my last bottle and have enjoyed them all!
August 7, 2022 - Had with boneless leg of lamb and smashed baby potatos.
Decanted 2 hours.
Good aged syrah. Balanced, smooth resolved tannin, dark fruit, some spice. Nonhard edges, still enough acid to keep it fresh. Still has years left to it. Nice after dinner without food as well.
Had along side with 2007 puntido gran reserva rioja. Both were enjoyable with the lamb. I think I preferred this syrah with dinner as it has a bit more fruit/acid than the Puntido. Both were good and both good pairing with the lamb.
March 30, 2022 - Nice!
October 4, 2021 - Nice spicy Clarendon Shiraz!
December 19, 2020 - Robe bourgogne ambrée. Décanté 2-3h. Sur le fruit noir, épice, chocolat, barrique et café. Peu astringent et facile à boire. Sans être mauvais, il n’a pas la structure d’un grand vin. Ce vin m’a beaucoup déçu pour son prix. Peut-être sur une pente descendante.
May 15, 2020 - Very nice. Not sweet. Good long finish.
April 15, 2020 - Rich flavors of dark fruit, full bodied, good with lamb or beef. Better the next day.
March 21, 2019 - Tonight was much better than last bottle. Touch of leather.
March 8, 2019 - Stewed prunes.
July 30, 2017 - Five and a half hour decant, the era of enjoying this style of wine is over for me for now, I found this so overwhelming on the palate that I could not finish the glass I had in front of me. Everyone else enjoyed it, which tells me it is my tastes that have changed, not the wine. Big, powerful, concentrated and filled with intense pepper, heavy meatiness and black fruit with an endless finish.
