Served blind, alas, we did not do well. The chamfor nose is quite evident, wonderful cool style, we went first to Burgundy, but settled on Loire, thinking cab franc, such is the mineral intensity, the cool, peppery tone. Very young, of course, still opne for earlier drinking than usually. #Søllerød#MB

Really evolved over time, with tannins integrating better and some funk/metal blowing off.
Fleshy, forward, and to me olivine in the extreme. Canned olives in olive oil on the nose and also on the palette. Nice, but could do with more age. Not a ton of complexity at this stage but well balanced.

A little shy on day one. But showing the day after so leave it for a while. Deep earthy nose with chocolate, raw meat and ripe black fruit. Big palate with some alcohol sharpness showing nice ripe berry juice with the right amount of acidity. Minutelong finish. Great wine.

Any Rhone (A Side Public House): I don't think this was decanted, and it came across as green and unyielding.

Monthly Tasting Group: All the Rhones (A - Side Public House, St. Paul, MN): Very dark red color. PNP, drank a glass over an hour. Delicious, so savory, deep leather, Captain Crunch cereal, red syrup, strawberry, raspberry, bright and long. Loved it! 94(+)pts.
