Saturday, May 17, 2008 - Kdawgs birthday and tasting event (Cotes du Rhone Restaurant, Chicago, IL): Sight: Still looks like a young wine. Clear and medium to medium dark red. Some purple tinges. High viscosity wine. Wow - this is a 1983 being drunk in 2008 and it has no bricking! Wow!

Nose: Sweet fruit. Minor heat. Red currants well integrated with woodsynotes. Some herbal aspects as well. Riding along was some saddle notes as well (but not much). Floral roses were wonderful and some stewed fruits stood off to the side in the background.

Taste: Soft, smoothm and integrated. Minor heat. Slightly soft on the mid-palate. However it's well integrated and a very sensual wine experience.

Overall: A fine+ wine. 92 Points.
