Still super-coiled and structured with not much real pleasure going on. Even after two nights it’s all angles and edges. It’s all there but needs plenty of time to unfurl. Lord knows when my magnums will be remotely ready, whatever about my remaining bottles.

Had 9 or 10 wines before tasting this, my palate was gone by this stage (with a palate of yak, not much to begin with anyway). All I could remember was that it’s tasted like a generic Northern Rhone, neither impressed nor disappointed me, still prefer CR from Domaine Jamet or Jean-Luc Jamet though.

Mostly Burgundies: My contribution. Lovely perfumed and floral nose of blueberries and rose petals, but the palate didn’t have the textural elegance that the nose promised. Quite earthy and not completely clean palate, some smoky bacon notes. This was before the issues surfaced at this producer so I have to admit that I was disappointed by this showing.

Really love this wine. Flavors are cigar box, leather and black peppercorn. The cedar/tobacco comes through strongest. Bottles like this are why I love wine.

Good, but light to medium bodied. Not much force or personality.
