(Catching up from 6/23 - JB’s Pig Roast)
Allemand is always a rare treat. The 2009 was surprisingly approachable after about two hours in the decanter. My favorite on a night of great wines. Thank you to @Michael Meyer for the pull. — 7 years ago

I love Cayuse syrahs but this is a Merlot based Bordeaux style with ~ 50% Merlot and 40% cab franc which is a little like saying I feared a medium bodied wine - was I wrong - so so wrong - killer juice - it was a full bodied baby - almost like drinking chocolate covered raspberries- what a remarkable thing to say for I had to dive through the funk - tons of Aromas of earth, peat, savory herbs and dark flowers lead to soft, sweet, smoky flavors. The texture and richness keep the interest high - almost too chewy - but after a while the wine soften and the firmness was like a waterbed of joy and sin mixed together - JD gives it 95 - will drink fantastic now with a mid decant time and last 2 decades but not sure what bottle rest will do and I think Cayuse makes to drink their wines early on - big smile of approval rating — 7 years ago
This and the Allemand Cornas were 1 and 1A last night at the Berry poolside pig roast. Fully mature and not as tannic as many La La’s I’ve had. This strutted from the pop. Roast venison, black olive, menthol, sage and an undercurrent of bright red fruit to compliment the darker components. In a very very good place. — 7 years ago
I adore this wine! Crisp, refreshing, but still with a nice body to it. — 8 years ago
Delicious. With a big 1.5 kg t-bone grilled on a salt block (for 3 people, I'm not a complete pig), mmmmm. Not as floral and complex as a Barbaresco, but nice complexity and excellent finish. — 8 years ago
