Saturday, May 19, 2012 - Two 750s at Grill 23 with the Kupfermans. Just the faintest hint of maturity. Opening nicely on the nose; oaky, rich dark fruit profile, a little brambly, earthy. Clearly one of their better years and a little surprisingly for the '05, drinking very well now. While it'll evolve, I don't think that this needs more time to really improve. Both bottles showed exactly the same. I liked this very much, but then again - when does wine not taste better when it's drunk with such great company?
3+/5
