2001 Joseph Phelps Insignia

Thursday, December 31, 2020 - One of 3 reds for the New Year's Eve festivities with a small group of friends, along with an '05 Bouchard Le Corton and an '03 Montrose.

The Corton was opened prior to dinner, while the Insignia and Montrose were both decanted. Both the Montrose and Insignia were outstanding, but at least tonight, the Insignia was the (slightly) better wine. While that may have been a function of the youthfulness and slower evolution of the Montrose, the Insignia was stellar. While a committed Francophile, I'm looking forward to my last two bottles of the '01 Insignia.
