Thierry Allemand
Chaillot Cornas Syrah 2012
Opened for a buddy’s birthday, alongside a 2005 Tatty Comtes, 2015 Cristal, 2018 Realm Falstaff and 2023 Kobayashi M/R.
I still remember my first Allemand seven years ago and how it immediately reeled me in and every bottle since has been the exact same. The rusticity and feral nature of Cornas is why for me, as a Syrah fanboy, it’s the best and most pure region for this wonderful grape.
Removed cork about an hour before pouring. Initial notes of olive, black pepper spice and herbs, some smoked meat and a brief blood-orange citrus aromatic. Deep red/black in the glass. There’s a layer of brett (low level, adds to the intrigue, doesn’t detract) and lavender bouquet before peppered strip, herbs, raspberries and blackberries, and a sanguine tang hit the palate. Not sure of whole cluster use here but seems there’s a little bit (which I love). Wild but civilized. Medium-plus bodied with beautiful acidity and plenty of tannin for this to cruise years. On the early side, but these are so hard to resist in every phase.
I wish I could drink this every day. I need to find a wine of similar style at a better price point. — 4 days ago

Washington Viognier 2024
Plus when I try to reply to other posts I get the API 1500 error, and can't post. So I see the platform is still as stable as ever.

WeatherEye Vineyard Syrah 2023
Very interesting wine.. I don’t know if I was blinded on this if I would ever pick those Washington except for maybe a tiny bit on the back end.
Great color and I actually really enjoy the aromatics on it.
The pallet to me is very interesting. It almost tastes like if you put free run juice into a tank and then let it settle in tank for a couple days and then just bottle that.. — 2 months ago
I enjoy your wines but this App is getting worse by the month. I can’t believe Antonio has his name attached to this and lets it continue to be outdated by year’s. No updates in 5-6 years.

This was all part of our Sake Day 2025 experience. We only tasted 60ish sakes out of an estimated 450, so a small fraction of what was available. While I attempted to rinse the glass with water and stay hydrated it’s difficult to fairly rate in this environment and I use it solely as a time to try a wide variety and interact with the brands. — 3 months ago
