43 bottles of Château Beaucastel with Bob Parker (Mark's Duck House, Falls Church, VA): This was a pretty bottling with a very different label, and this was also a birth year wine for me, my first ever! Upon first pour my hopes jumped, as nice notes of tea-leaf and dried herbs wafted up from the glass. Alas, this crashed pretty quickly and seemed pretty mature and madeirized.

Château de Beaucastel Dinner with Marc Perrin (Christie's Amsterdam): Decanted. Much more evolved than the 1970, brown sugar and parsley, a touch port-like, quite oxydative Grenache.
