Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe

La Crau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend

An excellent example of French Syrah Well integrated. A slight chocolate nose. Slightly dry on the palette but well balanced and enjoyable. Finish is medium to long. Well executed. Lots of life left. Fun to drink over the next 10 years and see it evolve. — 9 years ago

Viña Tondonia Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2002

Crazy good paired with dipping into gamba al ajillo (emphasis added), at Napa's groovy/real Zuzu, catching a classic deeply dirty nose while still sporting sun-drenched fruit that initially reworks one's first blush front mouth with an iodine edge that morfs into red and black fruit edgy with acid/tannin slow dancing to the depths and begging for another pinch of broth soaked chewy freshly baked bread and the associated next swig of this sweet juice...rhythmically stellar by day or by night😎🌌👣🍷🌀🎼

PS hit Zuzu (friendly, delicious and real...

2008. Another poetic review: dense and deep. This is for sitting in a leather armchair next to a fire, with the first snowfall of the season outside. Dark wood panelling and bookshelves. — 12 years ago

Dark spices soy dark berry fruit some dark coco 50-100 years old 1 bottle per vine still has great fruit and a good bit of oak but lovely balance 7-12 years old is when this wine starts to drink nicely 100% new oak fermented in barrel beautiful round lines but tension inside enormous tannins but massive fruit. Lovely balance for such a big wine. 2005

Domaine Jamet

Côte-Rôtie Syrah 1988

From the wine list at EMP bought by a new friend at the table next to us to go mano a mano against the 88 La Turque I shared. Slightly darker red and more pure in color. Amazing aroma that is more linear than the animalistic La La but in the same league. Hit its stride right out of the pop and pour gate. Lovely perfume with a more briary nose but speaks Cote Rotie from the get go. Perfectly integrated fruit and structure. Best Jamet I've had. Thanks to Danny for this treat. — 10 years ago

I had just bailed on a bottle of overripe Napa Cabernet Sauvignon moments before pulling the cork on this little gem. Balanced, complex, and respectful of the quality mountain fruit that makes this wine so delicious. Terrific next to grilled meat. — 13 years ago
