  At a Rhone wine theme dinner with friends, served blind, guesses were for Northern Rhone, hard to believe it’s 14 yo, still young & tannic, be great when ready

  Opened and decanted. Ruby core with faded outer 10%. Pine needles, black fruit, and soil. Medium weight, unbelievably calm, poised, and balanced. Black and blue fruit, complicating herbs, and excellent mineral core. The flow and progression across the palate are impeccable. This is a marvel of understated Syrah elegance. At an early point of maturity and it should have a very long plateau at this glorious level.

  Shrimp Heads Ride Again (PS Steak (Pseudo La Belle Vie, Mpls, MN)): Very dark red color. This had 4.5hrs of slow-O time. Drank a glass over an hour. Slate, firmish tannins, medicinal, Flintstone vitamins, dried herbs, garrigue-like, spices, silky, dark fruit. A little brooding, I think this could have used a full on decant. 92+ to 93pts.

  Return of the Shrimp Heads to La Belle Vie, I mean PS Steak in Minneapolis. 6 of us back in our beloved lounge w/ the old LBV lounge menu. CV,KB,LI,BB,JV & MA. Mark's excellent btl tonight & 1 of only 2 reds opened w/ the lamb sliders at the end of great evening. Coming on the heels of my 23yr old fully resolved '01 Giacosa Barbaresco this felt much more youthful & almost primary. I think standalone this would seem more mature. I found this well fruited & super silky. All together enjoyable if not mesmerizing. Right now, its beautiful fruit jumps out most but there are also those classic NR markers like; meat, spice, mineral & garrigue. Very satisfying now with plenty of upside if you have more!
