Saturday, August 16, 2014 - 1978 Big Boys + friends (Riverpark, NYC): In your face. Very ripe and pure plum fruit, tasty vanilla oak, mouth-filling texture, grippy tannin. All power, not much finesse. Tastes far younger than its years. A little modern/internationalist, but just because I wouldn't know it was Northern Rhone blind doesn't mean it's not delicious. Simple and straightforward for now, but dense enough that I wouldn't be surprised if it revealed a lot more complexity in another decade. My score reflects this potential.
