La Landonne Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2019

2019 vintage. Last tasted 3.8.25 (9.6) and 8.19.23 (9.5). Excellent fill and great cork. Decanted and tasted after 30 minutes. Small amount of chunky sed. Medium-heavy body but starting to slowly thin out. Excellent colo(u)r. Alongside the roasted nuts and smoked meats flavors, this drops a current cola-nut driven finish. Smooth and harmonious. Love this producer along with a nod to consumers/wine trade for keeping these ridiculous pricings down. 10.10.25. — 2 days ago

Saint-Joseph Syrah 2020

What a difference a little time and air makes 🤪. A little game a little iron and pepper and black fruit that became more expressive as time passed. Light and elegant. I think I got lucky. — a day ago

Similar notes, starting to resolve a bit. Alcohol levels are keeping it somewhat unbalanced at the moment. Frankly it’s only getting better, wish the alcohol was a bit lower. — 16 days ago
