Dinner at PST (Chicago, IL): #02-91, 8% abv. This bottle was fortunately not corked, and showed exactly like how it ought to. With this amount of age, the sugar has almost all completely mellowed out, leaving a wine that is at most off-dry. There's a lot of freshness here, with a herbal touch and lots of tart citrus and bright acidity. It's not a particularly powerful wine, as it tapers off pretty quickly on the midpalate and finishes a bit short, but there's something really enjoyable about a wine this old tasting this fresh.

New Yorkers welcome West Coast visitors to Peking Duck House, but the wine Gods were angry. (Peking Duck House- Midtown): Alas, this bottle showed a bit old and faded, which was rather surprising. Mineral dominates the nose and palate, with just a touch of petrol. It's shed much of its sweetness and is rather hollow in the mid-palate. Light citrus and peach flavors support the slate character. With extended air an interesting spearmint and pine character came up. Still, rather disappointing given the pedigree and vintage. B-.
