  Vinøs hyttetur 2023: Blind. Kjøtttfull, naturvinsaktig nese, tannindryss i finish, stor kropp med mørke bær mot bjørnebær, noenlunde tilgjengelig.

  Allemand Chaillot survey (Chicago, IL): Can't believe it's been so long since I last tasted this. This is very dark in complexion, with more of a black-fruited, plummy character, but the fruit isn't on full display here. There's a lot of leathery qualities as well, and the palate is very large-scaled. Not as fruit-forward and elegant as many of the other wines, this is a brooding, somewhat monolithic wine right now, but it's pretty clear that there's good material and potential. Not the most interesting of vintages to open right now. I'll also note that my 2018 note had this with distinctly red fruit -- I didn't find that to be the case at all today.

  Not sure if this was 100% pristine. Nose needed many hours to open up, to musk and spiced black olive. On the palate this was polished black cranberry with a subtle feral streak, cloves, subtle cherry coming out with air, and fresh/savory black olive austerity. Med+ acid that wasn't totally integrated. Fine tannin. No TCA on the nose (I'm sensitive to it), but this bottle showed so much differently than the last one 2 years ago and with some sharp acidity. Still pretty good and I score it a 94.

  Pinpoint crisp nose of red fruits and pepper — typical Syrah but more elegant and focused. Slightly less magical on the palate

  Too primary, great potential. Try in 10 years
