Decent on night one. Oh night two I'm getting carbonic foot odor.

More sound than last bottle. A violet-bomb if there ever was one.

Came apart after an hour. Flawed. But so bright and floral at start.

Really good stuff, especially for the price. Even better day 2. Thanks, @crushwineco!

SCEA La Tache is the name of the estate. No sulfur. Deep classic natural Syrah nose. Amazing. Great purity. 100% whole cluster. One month fermentation. Stunning. 1 gram of sulfur at the end.

I found this one a little odd. Complex to be sure, but very mineral heavy, with a lingering flavor almost reminiscent of mussels or seafood bullion. Not for me.
