La Chapelle Hermitage Syrah

Superb. Needed something to stand up to a bone in rib eye as well as an unruly 1 year old. Deep garnet color. Lot of berries on the nose with hints of smoke and bacon fat. Beautiful long tannic finish. — 4 years ago

Annual guys WTF Christmas party with spouses. Lots of great wine. I’ll post my highlights with pics I got.

Absolutely delicious and in the zone! So much depth and complexity on the nose and palate. Smoked brisket and bacon fat, small hint of olive tapenade, baked mixed berry pie, and sandalwood jump from the glass. Didn’t want to put it down! Richly textured on the palate with sweet smoke, espresso, dark cocoa, blueberries, blackberries, and savory peppercorn. So much going on here. Thanks

Nice, drank one last night at home. Put my glass up before realizing some left in decanter. Finished it off direct from decanter, that good!

@joe leatherwood : I don’t blame you! I would have done the same! It was that good.

Bird in Hand

Nest Egg Cabernet Sauvignon 2003

This was quite a surprise. While not the giant backbone you’d expect from a Cali cab, it had a nice Viscosity on the pallet and a longer finish. The tannins not fully integrated for its age, with a higher acidity level. Drank more like a Bordeaux blend. — 6 years ago

Côte-Rôtie Serine 2012

This was all about meat, floral & spices with black cherry, raspberry, bacon fat, licorice, camphor & violets. Open for business that is aromatic, full bodied & balanced, — 7 years ago

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend 2007

Complex layers of smoke and bacon fat with loganberry and tea notes. Massive yet the tannins are refined. This a 25 year wine. — 8 years ago

Brune et Blonde de Guigal Côte-Rotie Syrah 2015

Sophisticated nose of bacon fat, pipe smoke, ground espresso, hazelnut, blueberry, and bramble berry pie. Leather, tar, and tobacco too. Layered and perfectly ripe.Palate hits with pronounced blue and black fruits accented by pepper and clove. Vanilla bean and organic earth flavors too. Tannins are moderate and playfully bounce off a food minded acidity. This is drinking wonderfully now, so much that it’s hard to justify aging. Great finish depth and length. Drink or hold. This far over delivered on complexity for the price point! — 5 years ago

Beyond. Just in an amazing place right now. Bacon fat, black olive, sage, oregano, fresh tobacco and black fruit. Balanced and linear, not really palate coating. Very clean and energetic. Lots of length. — 7 years ago

Very smooth. Not very rich, I don't get a very "buttery" sensation like other chardies. But would be great in the summertime. — 7 years ago

Caves Saint-Pierre

Le Fiacre du Pape Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2016

The 2016 is out - and it doesn’t disappoint!!!Medium-bodied but mouth filling showing freshly picked cherries, leather and bacon fat. A memorable finish. One of my favorite wines, one of the most reliable. Huge QPR and one you should always have on hand. A little pricey for an everyday house wine, but it’s always worth it. On the downside it went up $1 and is now $21...... — 7 years ago
