10/09/05/03/02/00/98/90 vertical -- among my favorites in the vertical given the combination of power, complexity and intense spice though not as ready / complete as the 2010 or quite as profound as the 2005.

La Paulée de New York Gala Dinner (Pier Sixty, Chelsea Piers - New York NY): My table's 8 vintage vertical at La Paulée. Big, powerful, and brawny, still with some awkwardness as it fully integrates. Just so much of everything here. I think all us preferred the 2010 for now, but I think this will be the better wine. but I will not touch my bottles until 2029 or later.

DRC Duel Chez Moi (Grands Echezeaux, La Tache, Romanee Conti) (My home): Dark garnet. Nose of stem, lavender and mint. Less pronounced than when I drank this wine last year if more subtle. Palate of gamey red fruit, mint, chocolate. After two hours significant spice emerged - our guest thought it reminded him of DRC Richebourg. 15 second finish. WOTN and bested the '11 Romance Conti and just slightly edged out the '06 La Tache as per consensus. Bit tannic.

00880/12471. Consistent with last bottle, incredibly perfumed, rose with a touch of stem, perfect clarity. Sweet and so deep. Classic and very resolved DRC. 95

Exceptional wine. Fruit is sweet and expressive, so elegant and pure. Just totally delivered tonight, really special.
