Opened by TLV for his daughter's birthday and paired with Korean spiced lamb chops. Notes of cedar, plum, black currants and dusty earth. Medium-bodied and completely integrated, featuring flavors of black fruit, herbs and licorice. Wonderfully balanced, finishing with good length.

Opened at Anvil for April's birthday. Showing no signs of visible age with an inky dark color throughout. Plum notes with a hint of green pepper and herbs. Elegant finish with fully integrated tannins.

Another Saturday at Chevalier...Mostly Blind (Chevalier Fine Wines - Chicago IL): Cellared well since release by its original owner. Black fruit, nicely fresh for its age. Spice and liqueur notes, with everything in wonderful harmony.

Acker Pre-Auction Tasting Wines & In-Auction Dinner Wines (Zuma - New York NY): Tasting, brief note. Nicely fresh black fruit, ripe with liqueur notes, but well proportioned and balanced.

Birthday Celebration (Del Frisco - Chicago IL): Brief note. Very fat and lush, still mostly fresh, but not well centered.
