  1/27/2013 - Frank Murray III Likes this wine:

  The white pepper on this wine really is the center player. The wine was decanted several hours before the meal and it retained this disctinctive note. Spice cake, plum, I enjoyed this a lot.

  Full bodied and textured with honey and citrus, gardenia aromas and flavors. Rich and elegant.

  Subtle notes of honeysuckle and pineapples. Perfectly pleasant, but perhaps a tad too simple.

  @ Mr Chow's with Spring Keyes & Erica Freshman. Light gold color with medium forming legs and aromas of cut green grass, lemon and geranium. It's balanced and has flavours of lemon and geranium with a light/medium body. Polished texture with a medium finish - Cork was virtually soaked through, mold was evident on the top(under the foil). Surprisingly it was not oxidized,and seemed lighter than my prior experience.

  Roof BBQ with Eric/Katherine, Harvey/Esther, Lambert/Iris (Roof): somewhat subdued. like the Y, perhaps should have given more breathing time. again, being too close to the BBQ didn't help!
