  By the bottle at Noreetuh in NYC. In the decanter for about an hour. Nose is quite seductive: dusty clay, gravel, earthy, umami, slightly smoky. Palate is red berries, cocoa powder, dusty herbs, rich and sweet but balanced with good acidity and a smooth medium finish. Paired well with all manner of foods; no reason to hold it at this point so drink up!

  4th Saturday Brown Bagger (EBCC): Double blind. Opens with a whiff of brettanomyces funk, giving way to a mix of red and black fruit, rose and currants. Softened tannins with an abundance of red berry fruit on the palate. Lovely. We all thought Bordeaux, and I had suggested late '90s at one point, so at least I wasn't far off on its age. A terrific showing for this bottle from G&L's cold cellar.

  A fine scent and a good body after half an hour in the glass. With more air the flavour, structure and body evaporates a bit and the wine appears a bit diffuse and floppy (concerning the origin). But decent grip and length. Mysteriously without loss or even a bit better on the second evening. Consistent Impression to a bottle I had a couple of years ago. A good wine, but you can easily find much better wines on this price level. So a bit disappointing. No hurry to drink but it won´t improve.

  Put thru the Venturi and still took a while to open up; once it did, shows nice deep secondary fruits, a hint of mint, nicely resolved, better for sure than last time I tried it 4-5 years ago.

  Solid older cab; entry was smooth. Nose somewhat muted; palate was a full aged CA cab. Still decent acidity on the finish - we kept a glass on the counter for 15 hrs - still drinking great, even smoother...save the last bottle for 2-3 years.
