February 24, 2024 - A Japanese manga - Drop of God wine on the 3rd match for vintage 2000. A cult wine. Only produced in exceptional year. Pronounced nose intensity with notes of fig, plum, liquorice, jam, spices, toast. Medium+ acidity and medium+ tannin. Long finish.

TWSA Does not like this wine: 88 points
October 2, 2023 - Nose: forrest, wild flower, dried fig, grape seed,
Notes: drank from a Jero, quite a mature nose with palate of a vintaged wine. I'm a little disappointed with this as this did not show the right level of sophistication nor did it bring much elegance. Don't think there's much potential left in this.
Drink: now +

June 25, 2023 - Decanted about 2.5 hours. This bottle was a winner, nice nose and wonderful palate complexity that went on for a couple hours. Plenty of fruit and long finish. Decanting did help open it up.

September 18, 2022 - So far….just opened. Nice fresh nose of a non-floral nature is present. A light orange (fruit) is developing on the nose as well. Some autumnal notes detected on the nose. Palette lush but uninteresting, reason being probably just opened 5-10 minutes ago. See how this develops.
*2nd night. Cuvée is still very vigorous. Noticed on the nose autumnal but more towards a cinnamon aspect. Noticed a geomycin beet note on the palette.

4/10/2005 (link)(Pegau Chateauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée de Capo) This was nice but I have a feeling this wine was closed down . . .or more. Great nose of dark kirsch, horsey barnyard and some brett. But there was also a stewed element that also showed on the palate. Great energy in the mouth with nice concentration and elegance. Especially for a wine this massive. Long fruit-soaking finish. After around 35 minutes this wine shut down very hard and was acrid on the finish and all the fruit was hidden in a cloak of tannins and acid. There was a distinctly roasted element that really started to strut too that was worrisome. Maybe closed . . . maybe a slightly off bottle . . who knows?
