At Scalini Fideli in Chatham - awesome dinner organized by Jay. Late add for the tasting notes, had to hunt down full description. This was a really great wine
Prunes on the nose which was somewhat lacking. In the mouth, chocolate, and dark fruit but less than the nose. It had great balance and mouth feel. Great viscosity and and a very long very like finish. WOTN for about half the crowd - #3 for me with some strong competition

Magnificent after 2 hour slow ox. Dark fruits, cedar, cigar box. Gorgeous balance, long finish. Not expected.
