Friday, June 23, 2017 - Spectacular. Decanted a half hour before lunch, and thank goodness. My girlfriend loves vodka martinis, but only if they are basically Tito's and olive juice. That's the nose on this at first. It's like using a Vicks inhaler filled with green olive tapanade. After a while, it smooths out. Duck mousse and mustard as an appetizer was a smart idea. Will it continue to age? Dunno. My dining companion says he's had better vinages of this, but agrees that this was stunning. Great start to the weekend.
