Paul Jaboulet Aîné

La Chapelle Hermitage Syrah 1996

Incredible. Jaboulet family apparently inconsistent in final years of ownership, but this one had everything. So dense still, with lots of kalamata olive, olive brine, cherry, blackberry, black pepper, leather, cured meat, earth. Savory, sweet, powerful, elegant, hit every end of the taste spectrum. Super long. In magnum — 9 years ago

Clos Canarelli

Amphora Corse Figari Nielluccio Sciacarello 2015

Vintage 2015 / No sulphites. No filtering. 3 months on amphora, 4 months on barrique. Mix of authentic grapes #nielluciu #sciaccarello #minustello #carcaghjolu #morescone that makes this #corsicanwine very enjoyable. Rich and refined. Pretty round. Some roses. Frivolous. I like it very much. — 8 years ago

Wind Gap Wines

Sonoma Coast Syrah

Just an incredible 14 year old #syrah from Wind Gap that’s just screaming Crozes-Hermitage or Cornas in the glass. Cured meat, bacon fat, black olive followed by a deep well of brooding black fruit aromas. Palate is fresh with salivating acidity, aged fruit, coffee, dark chocolate and ethereal tannins on a long finish. Beautiful wine, especially for $53 for 6 bottles at WineBid (before shipping.)

Cayuse Vineyards

Cailloux Vineyard Syrah 2010

Raspberry jam, huckleberry compote, crushed black cherry, peach pit, violet liquor, bbq meat, fur, licorice whip, olive tapenade, sanguine, beef jerky, iodine, coffee grounds, smoke, pink peppercorns, a touch of leather. The salinity this has is unreal. It has real class and carries its weight well. Balance of the acid is keen, a cool-climate personality. Tannins are beautiful, resolving but bringing texture and posture. This could go another decade easily, but the balance is there now. Brownie points for the length and complexity. — 6 years ago

Domaine Haute Marone

Gigondas Red Rhone Blend 2015

What an amazing wine! Proof of the true values in Rhone for how complex this wine gets. Initial nose is tight with smells of farmyard and black olives. Letting it open up reveals a true bouquet of Spices, Lavender, Sage, Clove, Oregano, Leather/Hide, Dried Strawberry, Licorice, and more I wrote down and can't remember. It's chewy, but the Tannins are balanced, it's acidity said "Sure you COULD put me on the shelf, but I am actually drinkable today!" Let's just say that I will be getting more. — 8 years ago
