First of a case - healthy medium crimson- blueberry, fresh flowers, and strong mint - lively tartness - smothered tannins present - nice window - rest of case likely to evaporate in a just a few years now.

Vinetasters: Young Northern Rhône (Chicago, IL): Served double blind. Slightly dirty. Quite rustic, fairly dry and high acidity but also with barnyardy elements. Feels resolved but lacks fruit; perhaps it's drying out a bit? Feels slightly hollow on the palate too. My 9th, group's 12th.

Unbridled Syrah, drinks like a mini-Côte-Rôtie - and would, probably, beat many af them in a blind tasting. Smooth, elegant, very much the domaine-style, black fruit, olives, silky finish; still a young wine, very early days for this.

Best Cotes du Rhone I've ever tasted. I was shocked. Silky smooth, lovely delicate but concentrated red-blue fruits, silky tannins, nice floral note. Cote-Rotie in sheeps clothing. Four Seasons Beverly Hills Somm party
