  May 16, 2016 - Wine & Chinese on a Monday Night (Sun Wah BBQ, Chicago, IL): A deep dark ruby -- great color for a near 60 year old wine. The nose is moderate with red fruit that is slightly caramelized and herb/earth tones behind the fruit. Wow, the palate here is very impressive with fruit that is still round, plush and sweet. Tannins are resolved. Acid is still present and kicking. The finish has great length and perfume. Awesome stuff.

  May 16, 2016 - Rebecca's Welcome Dinner (Chicago, IL): Ex-Harris cellar. Perhaps this is a touch old, but it's definitely still drinkable. A nose that shows mostly tertiary character at this point, with some red fruits still showing. I didn't pick up any of that Margaux (appellation, not chateau) perfume though. The palate still shows a touch of fruit, although it's getting quite acidic on the back end. There's a silkiness in texture though, that's really pleasant. It's clearly in the last stage of its life, even for this bottle of excellent provenance. Drink up.

  March 4, 2016 - Opened as we had a guest born in 1956. High shoulder fill however very slight leakage so certainly not the best bottle. Nice garnet color with some browning at the rim. Slow ox'ed for about 1h as the wine did not show much of a nose upon opening. Later the wine was not showing outright bad but probably not correct either with a soft and gentle palate full of medicinal and herbal notes. A very slight touch of oxidization too. Very impressive long finish though with similar flavors.
  Our guest was happy nevertheless.

  February 29, 2016 - An appealing greenness and white pepper on the nose provide engaging aromatics. The palate falls short of this although modest fruit still shows through. Short finish. Bottle from chateau
