  Grand vin. Earthy, funky, syrah-with-age nose. Wonderful balance and harmony, notes of smoked meat, olives, greens. Understated power here, STGT.

  Northern Rhone Dinner (2012/2005/1998 focus) (Chez Lagragne): Just barely corked. Not a lot of TCA but enough and the wine was otherwise stripped.

  (Mostly) 1998, 2005, 2012 Northern Rhône (Chicago, IL): I think this bottle suffered from a mild case of TCA, and in any case, while the TCA didn't get worse with air, the wine just felt somewhat stripped.

  Tasted vis-avis the more lush 2006, this is more strict, serious and has almost Cornas-like qualities, olives, accents on iron and stone, cool kid, a lean mean Syrah-machine.

  Decanted for 2 hours. Still deep in colour. Quite a rich profile - slightly brambly blackberry and dark cherry fruit, with some faint evolution of undergrowth, smoke and just a little meatiness; a prominent mineral background underneath. Really needs another 5-10 years to be at its best ****(*)
