  Drank last nite at Wm Farmer & Sons in Hudson with fam & Zoe. Decanted at the table, though could easily have used more time in the decanter as the wine improved noticeably in the glass over dinner. Dark purple color, no noticeable signs of age. Wonderful nose of black fruit, tobacco, pencil shavings & mushrooms/moist earth. Medium body, silky smooth with notes of blueberries, plums, tobacco, with a hint of chocolate. Perfect acidity level offsets the lushness of the flavors just right. Finesse combined with very high level complexity and balance. Just a great bottle of wine, still shining and still exuding youthful exuberance at 24 years of age, with plenty of time yet ahead. My only wish, alas, is that I had more than 1 bottle remaining in the cellar. Classic aged Pomerol!

  Just a killer bottle of wine. Opened and decanted for an hour and drank over the next 2 hours. Dark purple color. Nose of violets, blueberries, pencil lead, tobacco. On the palate this is still fairly primary and just beginning to add layers of complexity. Texture is amazing silky and soft yet the wine has tons of power and finesse. Absolutely no rush to drink as this wine is still on the way up.

  No decant but followed for 24 hours. Opulent nose, effusive of black and blue fruit, violets and sandalwood. Palate is more modern on day 1 but evolves to a more classic bent on day 2. Elegant dark fruit, a tertiary note of chocolate. Velvety tannins on day 1, not as appreciable by day 2 (though still present). Never really noticed the oak either day. Both days really good but in different ways. Prefer the early maturity palate/structure after opening.

  Right Bank Bordeaux Tasting: Tasted single blind. Young, ripe, touch of prune, plush, fruit is more on the reddish side than black or blue. Tasted older than wine #2.
