  Rhône or Nôwhere 2.0 (Malcolm, NE): Talk about an enormous wine. This bottle was downright youthful and packed to the gills with fruit and character. Dark fruited with anise and black pepper. It was just so dense that everything seemed locked up right now…and we can thank Mourvedre for that. This was very tasty with cassoulet, Toulouse sausage and duck confit. If I were going to open another one of these, I would probably hold until 2030 and this will probably last for another 25 years beyond that. A massive wine with a long future yet ahead. Merci Dave!

  An Ambitious Birthday Celebration Effort (Los Olivos, CA): It had been four years since my last bottle of this, and I feel like some of the wine's intensity and complexity have diminished in that time. A very solid cork, no real seepage. Ripe (16.5%!) and lush, with RS balancing out the heat. Loads of fig, truffle, blood and iron, just more straightforward than I recall from before.

  Still has some way to go, but what a delightful palate with subtle ripe and velvety tannic structure. Still plenty of blueberry fruit and yet cocoa, smoke, cedar showing too. Ideal winter wine.

  The 2005 Beaucastel Hommage a Jacques Perrin is a blend of 60% Mourvedre, 20% Grenache, and Counoise and Syrah. Intense density of ultra-ripe blackberries, figs (port-esque), inky soy sauce, smoked wood spices with extracted cassis. Tightly laced and tasted like a barrel sample from one of the greatest vintages. Very complete and beefy but I found it difficult to finish my one glass. This should be able to age for 80 years if not more! (90/100)
