A friend who worked at Eric Solomon Imports gave me this wine many years ago and told me it need a bit of bottle age. Well, I forgot about it, so it got plenty of bottle age. After 18 years in the cellar, I thought it would be well past it’s prime, but it was still alive and vibrant. A bit of iron, some leather, and a surprising amount of red fruit. — 6 years ago

Years back a plush monkey wearing a sombrero cradled a small acrylic painting of my own sat in a well maintained yet delicately musty loafer with a soviet hammer and sickle I'd also painted on the side was placed on my friends doorstep in the middle of the night. Shortly after my friend opened the door to quite a surprise, he was deep in the land of mushrooms, so deep he required conformation of the loafer monkeys existence. The complexity of that situation is not unlike this leathery, light, and colorful display. — 10 years ago

Very pleasant Côte-Rôtie. I think there is not much mileage left here so I'll drink up my remaining bottles soon. — 9 years ago

100% Marsanne. Surprisingly aromatic and lifted. Apricot, nectarine, cantaloupe and cool minerality. Spicy finish. — 10 years ago

Notes written 2nd day.
On 1st day lots of barnyard, garrigue, iron, some blood and herbs. Tannins pretty well integrated, nice acid balance.
2nd day, more muted nose, but it’s all there. Still light on it’s feet.
Has that nice Syrah peppery ness.
