JR in a good place at 10yr young.

Stunning. Very intense and rich, mushroom, leather, cigar, dried figs, some phenol, earthy. Just brilliant. Changes brilliantly over time to open up more flavour .


Plus slow roast rib fillet by MEATER.

When in Israel…

We had this red in a steak restaurant, perfect match to eye fillet. Despite it’s young age it was drinking very well

• Ar Pe Pe - pretty, elegant, amazing wines.
• Rinaldi > Burlotto.
• Comtes > UC (though maybe unfair, given the UC with bottle age would be a lot more interesting)
• Rostaing... tired... Gaillard... fresh, but also wonder if it would ever materially shift and evolve.
• Redon Le Plat, amped and intense but balanced - dark and coiled.

Sad but true. Last vintage and probably their best was 2018.
