2013 Le Vieux Pin Syrah Équinoxe
1/1/2023 - geoffjb Likes this wine: 94 Points
Rich purple starting to get an orange tinge at the edges. There was a tiny bit of sediment at the very end of the bottle, but much less than I expected for a 10 year old bottle and it was fine enough that it wasn’t wasted to the sink. Black cherry and tobacco were strongest on the nose, with a hint of menthol. Medium-bodied with flavours of red cherry, leather, cedar, tobacco, and a bit of vanilla and blueberry. This was very smooth for a Syrah, though it still had plenty of acidity and has years left in the cellar. The finishing taste of wood lasted for 10 minutes after the last drink. Another great bottle from Le Vieux Pin.

2014 Tinhorn Creek The Creek

Still very good. Strong notes of thyme. I think this is at or slightly past its prime, so probably best to drink by end of 2023.

2015 Blind Creek Collective Consensus
2/19/2022 - geoffjb Likes this wine: 93 Points
A beautiful crimson rim with dark fruit and tobacco on the nose. Very smooth and elegant on the palate, with flavours of dark cherry and a long finish. Still several good years on this but I'm not sure if the third of three bottles will make it out of 2022.
