  Bonham's Pre-Auction Wine Tasting (San Francisco, CA): Tannins still overwhelming. Expected a little more fruit from this vintage but what do I know. Not ready.

  Mr Stox with T-Bone's Crew (Mr Stox, Anaheim, CA): Very smokey aromas and flavors. Very rich round palate with a touch of caramel and good acidity. I think this needs some time but the roundness of the fruit didn't smack of Burgundy to me. Nice.

  Do not drink this wine now, it is too young (off-balanced with too much acidity) at this stage. Nevertheless, the potential is there, we can still taste the elegance of this wine (tannins, and length are quite good). The taste is classic burgundy (you could not spot the 2003 vintage in a blind test), mainly with cherries, but just too young.

  Excellent showing. Similar to earlier in the year - red fruit, mainly cherry, some herb and mineral on the nose - but fuller and more rounded.
