WTN: Not that La Tache

2007 Domaine La Tache St. Joseph Cuvée Guillamy - France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, St. Joseph (11/7/2021)
Well hello there, this is delicious. It has depth. It has character. It shows all the classic virtues of Northern Rhône Syrah, with ample levels of roasted meats, dark fruit, sun-drenched herbs and just a touch of worn leather. This actually feels quite youthful, and has rewarded a patient decade+ of cellaring with a couple of false starts where the wine just didn’t want to play. Right now it’s a pleasure to drink, and appears to have a bright future. Glad to have a few more bottles.

Sounds nice, but real impetus to buy is thought of look on friends' faces if I invite them over for "La Tache" night.

Yeah, I thought about that more than once.
