Greet Adira and small BYO at our place (Clinton Hill, Brooklyn): Brought by Suzanne C. Still some fruit - soft, velvety and mature strawberry and raspberry. Creamy with great spice, some animal fur, earth, gingerbread. Some old burg stink. Very velvety on the palate - sweet fruit, spice, gingerbread, earth, some funk. Soft, spice and tannic finish - a little bit earthy. This is why I drink wine. Nose - 5.5/6, Palate - 5.5/6, Finish - 5/6, Je ne Sais Quoi - 1.5/2 = 17.5/20.

Wines and friends with lovely little Adira, and Seth and Keshet; chez them: Well-bricked ruby, obviously used to be a fairly deep blood. Big, earthy nose showing its age; nice vegetal character, fortunately just this side of canned asparagus/green beans; petrichor; canned mandarin oranges; a little stewed tomato; really nice. Sweet entry on palate; fruit fading a bit to tannin, structured, but still alive with lovely, earthy cherry; tomato; an edge of lacquer/Elmer's glue. Good length, tasty. Nothing to wait for anymore -- drink up but in no hurry.
[Note: This vineyard is more commonly spelled "Epenotes" and borders Pommard's Les Petits Epenots; this could easily have been guessed as a Pommard with its structure and longevity.]
