A monster tasting at Laszlo's: On the nose it has charred characters, funk, earth, VA and an aged red fruit character. Palate is medium bodied and holding up well all things considered. Drink now.

Phil's Birthday tasting (Phil's place, Putney, Sydney): From Coravin. Leather, earth, a little sweaty blackcurrant and a little green capsicum, toast. Juicy, medium plus intensity acidity, leathery chalky textured tannins, those herbaceous notes translate to the palate with a little blackcurrant. Nice.

This was the last bottle of a case I bought when Susan and I still lived in Santiago, Chile. It had to be early 1998 or late '97. For years it sat in my cellar, gathering dust and memories, waiting for the right moment. Tonight it arrived. But did I wait too long? The agony of suspense! For a 21-year-old, this Chilean was amazingly present and alive with tannins, acidity and black cherry flavors. Oh, how I wish I had another.
