  September 11, 2021 - Epic Bordeaux for an Epic Birthday!; 9/1/2021-9/12/2021 (Paris & Bordeaux): The color on this is dark crazy tea (like when it's been steeping for over an hour) and I was a bit unsure but this is still delicious. There's acid which keeps some freshness and the sugar is all fully in play and more burnt caramel and all of that. A little bit goes a long way.

  September 4, 2021 - Epic Bordeaux for an Epic Birthday!; 9/1/2021-9/12/2021 (Paris & Bordeaux): End of the night sweet snd to be fair I traded part of my glass for more red wine which I really enjoyed. This is definitely older and it’s the nectarines you get if you bake them in the oven with sugar and maybe even a sprinkling of brown sugar all the way down to full caramelisation. It’s a wine where I just want a little bit because it packs power in that. Drinking nicely. Interested to see how the second bottle goes.

  September 12, 2015 - Magnum Man Cellar Depletion (Northfield, IL): Popped and poured. Also sensational. Lots of dried apricot and baking spice. Rich, syrupy and unctuous, but without any cloying. Another great 1955 tonight.
