From Magnum. Opened about an hour before dinner; enjoyed over the course of two days. Best after a couple of hours. The 2015 “Domaine de Thalabert”pours a deep ruby/purple color with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with significant staining of tears and signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe and desiccated fruit: blueberries, figs, lavender, Kalamata olive, leather, coffee, Bacon fat, spices, and organic earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. This was pretty shy and awkward early but after significant air, it came alive. Lots of life left. Drink now through 2035. — 11 hours ago

Headliner on NYrs Eve; nose surprisingly closed for such a strong fruited wine, despite 2 hr+ decant before service. Still, did not deter from an explosive palate: crushed granite, wild blackberries, wild flowers, cured game nearby but not primary. Feels like old & new world meet somewhere in the middle here, & for about 30$ that equals pleasure. — 2 days ago

Epic Syrah. Still a highly underpriced wine. Wish it was easier to find. — 12 days ago
