  Fairly bright red color; fresh cherry fruit with mild confected bakery scents (like a frosted cherry pastry). Clean and supple red fruit palate (unlike some gnarly '98s). Shows very nicely tonight!

  La Paulée de San Francisco - Gala Dinner (The Fairmont - San Francisco CA): Late night, small glass, brief note. Mature red and black cherry with subtle anise and black pepper. Very fresh and fun, if just moderately complex. Fun and good now.

  dynamic nose of nougat, dark cherry coulis, cedary spice, pine, cinnamon, tree bark, mint and humus come through. Still brawny and shows relatively medium + to full-bodied flavors. Ends with present, firm tannin.

  Nice nose - a bit closed on opening. Blackberry, coffee, spice and sous-bois with medium intensity. On taste fine tannins still in force with nice acid balance and a long finish. Still early for this wine, but unlike other Arnoux bottlings not as extracted. Very nice but just opening to entice you in. Just not ready yet. A bit coquettish.

  Fine burgundy dinner (Alyn Williams at the Westbury): Big boned, a bit of funk, some edge, plenty of flesh here
