SirJ Does not like this wine:
October 8, 2023 - Came out of the bottle flat, metallic and overripe raisins. Suspect poorly stored bottle, a shame for an otherwise fantastic wine.

April 25, 2023 - Dark core with moderate evolution.
The wine is still very bright with lavender, blue berry, and a touch of pan grille, black olive and pepper.
MB, MA,SMT, M Alc, matches the palate. velvety with a lingering finish. I had to double check the vintage on the bottle, seemed too young.
This wine is starting to come into its own. More refined than the last bottle I drank in 2019. Still enjoying on day 3.
Will be interesting to revisit in another few years, no hurry. Northern Rhone all the way for a fraction of the price1 person found this helpful Comment -

December 29, 2022 - Great wine, still going strong. Went superbly with the Boeuf Bourguignon!. Loads of complexity with tapenade, blackberry jam, coffee, bramble. Plush mouthfeel. The guests loved this.

June 7, 2021 - I really like this - after drinking a muscular Saxum, this was softer and more integrated. Indeed no extracted, jammy fruit - but lots of reminders. Honestly, I've drunk a lot of this over the years, and I prefer the space it's in now - almost reminiscent of a a Hermitage

May 13, 2021 - Brought to a tasting by an expert friend - what a revelation! On the nose, captivates and entrances - still young, but yet beguiling on the palate as well. Hard to find, I am told - if you see this on any list at your favorite top ranked Zagat’s go to, it’s a must try.

12/28/2009 (link) ***** points(Cayuse Vineyards En Chamberlain Vineyard Walla Walla Valley) A funky, aromatic nose with mushroom, earth, mineral, streaky red fruit, floral notes, and healthy dose of black pepper. Thick and intense on a palate that has a perfect polish to it and is almost impenetrable. The palate shows lots of sliced black olives and pepper. The finish is seemingly endless. 14.6% alcohol.
