  Hawker night at Caroline's: Brought for a friend. My third and best bottle for this vintage so far, so fresh that most people guessed 2010s for this. Similar impressions except this was more youthful, had a primary nose with a beautifully balanced palate of dark red and brambly fruit.

  Probably the buy of the year by Melvin, the host who kindly shared all his wine with us on his own b’day, the definition of generosity. 90 Hermitage was much better but this is a really solid wine and such a great buy.

  Birthday dinner with good wine friends: Most managed to arrive at northern Rhone for this. Similar to my previous impressions - remarkably fresh, attractive dark fruit for its age. Some actually thought this was younger than the 2011 Chateau des Tours! Not nearly as good as the terrific 1990 however.

  More mature than the 83 Jaboulet, this showed brambly fruit with intense non-fruit iron and blood. A bit funky but complex and quite enjoyable. I didn’t get as big of a taste as I would have liked. I’ve had really superb experiences with these older Guigals.
