The Portrait
I took this 22 years ago in Paris. I'm working my way through them as there's 8.5Tb of photos on the NAS. Do I cull, or upgrade to 10Tb disks?

Clementine
A ripe, luscious wine embodying everything a small number of Napa producers at 3X the price dream for and capturing it effortlessly while still managing glorious balance. Deep, impenetrable ruby in the glass, a fair bit of sediment, a nose greasy with gravel roads and pond-water algae while dark cherry plumps and spreads its legs for enjoyment. Svelte and polished while only barely slutty:…

The interior of the Church of Saint-Séverin in the Latin Quarter of Paris reflects the Flamboyant Gothic style of the 15th century.  Little remained of the original 13th century structure after it was seriously damaged by a fire in 1448 during the Hundred Years’ War.  From the time of its construction until the French Revolution it was the parish church of the University of Paris. 
The most famous architectural feature of the church is the twisting central pillar in the apse behind the altar. The parish website refers to it as the "torso column." The pillars resemble stone palm trees whose branches reach upward and spread out into the intricate web of the vaults.

Syrah
Wine of the week chosen as it is an unusual Bordeaux. Bordeaux is typically made of a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. This iteration features a single grape varietal, putting the spotlight on Syrah. Biodynamically farmed, hand harvested and produced in Graves (known for its intensely gravelly soil), it is resolutely a Bordeaux but with a difference.
Tumblr media
As is typical of Syrah it is full bodied, juicy, slightly meaty with a touch of spice.
Serious notes of blackberry jam, chocolate, eucalyptus, menthol, forest fruits, tobacco leaf, allspice, baked red fruits and bacon. Deep ruby purple but with garnet hues from 12 months in French oak.
A dry but supremely juicy, weighty red with great acidity.
Tasting notes: blackberry, baked red fruit, eucalyptus, forest fruit, tobacco leaf, allspice, bacon, star anise
Pairing: game, chocolate, fattier fish and meat
Similar to: wines from the Rhone region, Châteauneuf-du-Pape

Note: the FDIC (insurance paid into by banks, not taxpayers) is covering these loses. Let this be another glaring opportunity showing how deregulation is a dangerous game. If SVB’s collapse leads to broader financial turmoil, a true bailout may be needed.

I drank a bottle of this a few months ago and I don’t recall being super-impressed. I mean–as impressed as one needs to be with American-retail cheap BDX from an AOC the stronghold of classic claret and a decade old. That’s actually quite a few qualitiers. Running into it again, it’s even harder to resist on Bev-Mo’s current 6’s and 7’s sale. If you watch my stories on IG, you knew about this a…
