René Engel: Shyer than 01 on the side initially but eventually reached its glory, such striking completeness at first sight after two days of air. Chiseled white fruit, electric spice from the heat, lightly wilted yellow fruit, cinnamon, bakery spice, coconut pineapple cured, toned and focused and so pure, with cream and fat on the finish staying true to terroir. An incredible rendition after a week of more than impressionable white wines. 98+

Rene Engel Dinner (Benoit Bistro, Manhattan): Very rich and solar. Very mature / slightly oxidative. The wine was tropical with broad shoulders - a hedonistic treat. Would reccomened consumption earlier rather than later.

Golden hue and fully mature but oh so good. Rich, decadent fruit that is ripe and luscious with honey and hardened mineral notes of age. Still fresh and lifted. Held up over a few hours over the course of dinner. Late peak.

Some Wine Tasted at the Acker La Paulée Auction (Maybourne Hotel - Beverly Hills CA): Tasted at auction. Magnum. Big, rich, and lush with easily to enough structure to retain its freshness. Much better/ fresher than a bottle I opened late last year.

Mid-Aged Great Roumier Dinner (RPM Steak - Chicago IL): Rich and extremely dense orchard fruit, but also very mature. Still enough energy that this remains very enjoyable, but it is time to drink up.
