The Wild Olive

Domaine Auguste Clape

Le Vin des Amis Syrah 2016

Very nice Syrah, but slightly underwhelming for the price point. Decanted 4 hours and it needs it at this point. Dark dark fruit, olive, some cured meat. — 3 years ago

It was a great buy at its former price point, ~$30.

Domaine Romaneaux-Destezet (Hervé Souhaut)

Vin de Pays de l'Ardèche Syrah 2014

High toned, floral, spiced, loads of pepper and crunchy minerality. Fruit has lost some youthful exuberance, moving more into the background while its earth and perfumed notes come through. Tempts you with contemplation, but just so fun to drink. Wild black and red berry, bay, green and black peppercorns, peach, crushed rocks, wild herbs. Perfect foil for Moroccan rabbit and stewed veggies — 5 years ago

Springfield Estate

Wild Yeast Estate Chardonnay 2017

16.5/20 (91/100) Ароматы экзотических фруктов, спелых яблок и дыни, нота молочных сливок. Тельное с высокой кислотностью, немного спиртуозно. Отличное шардоне! — 5 years ago

Paul Jaboulet Aîné

La Chapelle Hermitage Syrah 1996

Incredible. Jaboulet family apparently inconsistent in final years of ownership, but this one had everything. So dense still, with lots of kalamata olive, olive brine, cherry, blackberry, black pepper, leather, cured meat, earth. Savory, sweet, powerful, elegant, hit every end of the taste spectrum. Super long. In magnum — 7 years ago

Tenuta San Guido

Bolgheri Sassicaia Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc 2001

Very powerful intense cab sauv blend, good time to crack open. Dark saddle leather spicy bouquet, balanced acidity, tobacco and wild boar scents, strong earth nose. The taste stays in the mouth for a long time. Spectacular. One of sassicaia's strongest showings, good time to drink — 8 years ago

Enfield Wine Co.

Heron Lake Vineyard Chardonnay 2018

Doesn’t bowl you over with concentration but Enfield is all about subtlety and balance. Green apple, pear, slightly bitter lemon finish, not a whiff of butter or vanilla or toast in sight — 3 years ago

Domaine Jean-Louis Chave

Hermitage Syrah 2001

Haha... just wrong. One of the most well integrated wines I have ever had. Thrown off not getting the typical smoked meat/ olive tapenade characteristics of northern Rhône. Dark red fruits, slate, gamy, fresh pepper and the right amount of funk. Simply sublime — 5 years ago
