Quite the birthday dinner. By far the best wine paring I have ever had with a dinner. Now it’s time to go run the Chicago Marathon! Lightning minerality, fresh lemon zest, smell of brioche dough about to go into a warm oven. Great way to start the meal of a lifetime. — 5 years ago

From 6L bottles. One 6L was, very sadly, corked. The other was good though Far from great or even particularly noteworthy. Paled by comparison to the Margaux and Latour 6L bottles tasted contemporaneously. — 6 years ago

Incredible! Wasn't a true fan of oak until now. Notes of spice, butter, caramel, clove, apple and pear. Medium-plus bodied and a long excellent finish! Favorite Chardonnay so far, at least that is oaked. — 7 years ago

EnRoute, established 2007 in Russian River Valley by the partners of Napa’s Far Niente winery. An outstanding wine, deep Ruby with aromas of ripe fruit flavors with subtle notes of earth and spice. On the palate cherry and ripe red plum, savory with gentle herb spice. Smooth fine ripe tannins, well balanced on long finish ending with perfect earthy character. Very Nice! — 5 years ago

First time trying the '15s and it's as great as always. This is definitely a decent amount more brawny and ripe than the '14s but still identifiable as a Lapierre wine. That said, I'm still not the biggest fan of most of these '15's so far, they are too hot and ripe and don't really fit the profile of what I want from most Beaujolais. This is still pretty good on its own merits though. Day 1 it was closed and not giving up very much but on this morning, Day 2, it's come around and opened up quite a bit. Ripe, juicy strawberry and raspberry red fruit, tart rhubarb, wild violet, smoky gravel minerality, with a nice briny, almost gamey salinity underscoring things a bit. Nice medium (+) acid, medium (-) body with a great, soft texture. Just a touch of fine, supple tannic grip. There a bit of brett and VA but they're in balance rather than being a faulty distraction; the VA helps give a little extra lift, if anything. Will try another bottle after some more time has passed because even though it's good now it honestly still needs to come together a bit more; it seemed almost still slightly bottle shocked when I first opened it yesterday. If you're opening one soon I'd recommend giving it a little air to let it unfurl. — 7 years ago

"Odedi"

9.5

Dark ruby /purple in color with a purple rim.
Meduim to full bodied with gorgeous legs.
Beautiful on the nose with blueberries, blackberries, cherries, nutmeg, vanilla, white pepper and candy.

Smooth on palate with blackberries, dark currants, plums, raisins, oak ,vanilla, cola chocolate and black pepper.

Dry finish with dark berries, peppercorn and voluptuous tannins.

What a wonderful wine. Very recommended. The best Australian Shiraz I had so far.
Can be had by itself or with grilled meats.

This Shiraz spent 12 months in American oak barrels and aged beautifully.

At first earthy mushroomy and a long savory finish. The black fruit came out after about 30 min opened, but was still not as prominent as the peppery spice and earthiness. Balanced acidity and tannin at 8 years out, it might still age gracefully for a few more years. We had this with a nice aged Gouda and the fat and nuttiness of that cheese complemented the wine nicely. I suspect this would be incredible with a rib eye but I got lazy and too far into the bottle before I could go pick one up. Guess I'll have to plan better for the last bottle of this in the cellar. — 10 years ago
