Superb, mature BDX. Powerful ‘barnyard’ nose, meant in the most positive sense. Enjoyed at Nice Matin (always tempting just to order from their excellent list, but this was from our cellar) in NYC prior to Jackson Browne show at Beacon Theater. Fine night all around!,

Magnum enjoyed at Union Sq Cafe in NYC. Have been fearful for many years that this bottle would be a disappointment, though recent member ratings seem to have been wandering higher. The wine was in beautiful condition and was a joy to drink! No sign of browning, understated but lovely nose and no fading over the course of three hours of air exposure. A shoutout to Madame Borie, who we met at a wonderful Grand Puy Lacoste tasting recently, for inspiring us to try the wine!

2014 Melville Pinot Noir Block M

Had the Block M 2014 and 2015 on consecutive nights. Yankees lost both nights, so no edge there.

But the ‘14 was the far better drink, bright and in a perfect state to enjoy. The younger wine was austere and lacking fruit.

Melville pinots always excellent value.
