16th Annual Lyon 10 Year Retrospective (Same Old Place): A great way to start this tasting of 02's. Deep black cherry and plum fruit along with some spice. Very round and smooth. Substantial backbone w/o being overtly tannic. Sediment was notable compared to others. 92 on day 2.

I saw the fake cork and was worried. Unfortunately the telltale notes of sherry confirmed my fears. Down the drain. Whoever invented these plastic corks needs to be shot.

Blueberry muffin nose with some kirsch and a little reeee col aaa. Pretty one dimensional on the palate with jammy dark fruit,menthol, and some heat peeking through. Not a good wine considering the vintage. Seems past prime already.. Wondering if the faux corks have a role in this?

This bottle was a little slow to open but after 20 minutes delicious. Not as good as first bottle.
