Wow, one of the wines of the night. Beautiful nose with a touch of biscuit, honey, nuts, and a fair amount of sweet tangerine. Envigorating acidity, with loads of almond and citrus on the palate. Beautiful, refined finish.

Painfully corked, sigh.

Wow again. Stunning nose, with loads of honey and guava. Beautiful texture and acidity, with an amazingly soft sweetness. Fantastic finish. Every bit as good as the last time I had this...which was very good!

Yuck, very oxidized.

Ok, the oak is slightly heavy handed, but this showed well. Amazing nose, with some tropical fruit and meyer lemon some toast, maybe some coconut. On the palate, great acidity, with nice citrus snd slate. A hint of oaky bitterness on the finish, but yum.

I had high expectations for this bottle, which it didn't quite meet. Nice nose at first with some meaty syrah notes and loads of smoke and a touch of herbs. On the palate, great acidity, and loads of brine, together with some smokiness. Very tannic finish.

With air, this lost any sense of fruit: smoky and peaty, with a dried out finish. This bottle was probably better 5 years ago...

Totally oxidized.

Maderized...

Corked!

Like carbonated fruit loops at first, but settles into something much more interesting. Loads of ripe strawberry, baked bread, and a hint of honey. Good acidity, and refreshing finish.

My other wine of the night. Like motor oil in color/viscosity. Beautiful nose of dates, plums, snd dark, sweet red fruit. Great, lively acidity on the palate, and invigorating finish...fantastic texture and poise.
