Bill's wine. Not flawed but not the best bottle. Flavors were a little wan and texturally, while not flat, it lacked persistence.

First visit to Cafe Matisse (Friends House + Cafe Matisse): This was straight up delicious and prob the wine of the pre-dinner group. It's caramel and just a hint of oxidation and some vanilla notes as well. This was clearly aged and the age really helped add some character. Very enjoyable.

Impressive given it's age, and fresh enough (caramel with lemon) that 1990 wasn't immediately obvious.

Opened 2 bottles. 1 was amazing, sherried in a good way, golden pinkish. 2 was a dud but still interesting.

A Week in Osoyoos; 7/5/2014-7/11/2014 (Osoyoos, BC): No formal notes. Nice and perfectly mature. Doesn't have the complexity of some of the better Champagnes but a perfectly good drink at the moment. Excellent.
