Alcohol is spiked on this one. Don’t know if it’s timing, storage, or flight. After 45 mins this calmed down and increased from 90 to 92. Got better over time. Decant at this stage I guess — a month ago

A seductive Burgundy. The color is disguises its aged properly. Scents of clean stables, dried flowers and mature red plum. Classic dried mushroom and cherry on the palate. Med bodied, balanced, velvet tannins with a long finish. Cheers. — 3 days ago

This bottle had been opened the night before. The 2021 pours a deep ruby/purple color with a near opaque core; medium viscosity with significant staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of tart and ripe black and red fruits: mixed brambles, purple flowers, olives, black pepper, stony earth and a mix of cool and warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acidity. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and peppery. True to the vintage, this is a cooler expression of Chave’s Saint Joseph and I really dig it. Drink now through 2041. — 2 months ago

The last of the 2002 in mags brought from the property. Delicious. I would have thought these would have been saved for their member parties. So, a nice surprise.
