Kiawah 2022; 8/6/2022-8/13/2022: Really nice. More classic Châteauneuf than the Chimère. Pomegranate, cherry, plum, fig, date, clay pot, mushroom, ethereal. Interesting to see the Grenache come forward rather than Mourvèdre. Would hold. 2025-2045+

A celebration of a 64th, wines that will still be great on my 64th
Second act opened with this delight. The nose has almost a cherry jolly rancher quality - candied, racy. The palate is beautifully intense, lighter bodied, but so flavorful. Was happy to take a second glass. Changes with air, garrigue notes playfully appear. Lingering finish. Stunning. High abv you can't taste.

40th Birthday celebration for I (Sushi Yuki): Pnp from magnum, game, meat interlaced with pure red fruits. Beautiful on the palate. Amazing stuff.
