Still hanging in there. Tannins are gone, but it hasn't turned. Nice flavors, and a great wine to drink with a friend. Amazing that it's 25 years old and still drinking well.

Some black cherry notes on the nose. Very soft tannins still remain. Slightly acidic but still retains some fruit. 2014 probably a bit too long to hold on to it but still very drinkable.

Saturday Fun at Domaine (Chicago, IL): Tasted blind (I pegged it for an early 00's Barolo based on the earthy and fruity nose, though the tannins didn't feel right). The palate came off a little hollow and lacking in concentration, though there were quite some nice fruit flavours. Very light tannins that didn't have too much grip.

Don't know how, but it was bright luden's cough drop red out of the bottle. A bit dead on the nose and a short finish, but in between, a very pleasant light version of what you'd expect. Bright red fruit, a bit of spice, no tannin experience to speak of. Guess I timed the last bottle reasonably well. Complimented the eggplant well.

Saturday Afternoon at Domaine - featuring Nebbiolo (Domaine Wine Storage - Chicago, IL): Tasted blind. I guessed a super tuscan. Lots of oak and had that graham cracker and mocha notes going on. Thought it was a pretty decent wine, but wasn't overly exciting.
