Impromptu Dinner w/Friends (Pa Lian Burmese, Wheaton, IL): Courtesy of D&L. Mineral, red berries, mesquite, bay leaf and black fruit aromas. Wonderfully complex and nuanced. Medium- to full-bodied, with a bit of tannic grip and flavors of roasted herbs, red berries and pepper. Has a subtle woody element, not mesquite as in the bouquet, but I can't quite place it though it is very enjoyable. Excellent, and sure to improve with a bit more time in the cellar. 93+ pts.

Fantastic wine, straight from the cork pull. Viognier floral aromatics, with lots of acid. Ripe berry, red and black raspberry, cracked pepper and some hay. Hard to imagine a wine more varietally correct. 2010 just cannot be beat in france, particularly the rhone. I would buy again but more bottles.

Yeah, this is kind of young. Initially, this is showing a more red-fruited character, with a lot less meat and olive influences, though there seems to be just a slight bit of smoke starting to develop on the nose as well. Bright and high-toned, with some serious depth on the palate as well. Again, this is showing a juicy and ripe red-fruited character, but there's ample acidity here to ensure this stays fresh. There's a fair bit of black pepper as well on the palate. The tannins are surprisingly light, but they are grippy, and I'd expect them to unwind with time.

This was a nice value at $150 on the list. Opened and recorked for a two day approach. Paired very well with the Elk Chili.
Day two oxidation mellowed some of the acidity which I enjoyed.
92/93.
