Paired with the stuffed quail course at a wine dinner at Equinox in D.C. - this was open for business and quite lovely, softer red fruits and a beautiful nose.

Strawberry, plum, sous bois and spice; dense and substantial but closed and hard, almost wooden After 4 Hours: more perfumed on nose; palate now more integrated, fruitful, creamy and pleasing; clearly this needs more time

During a La Paulee Lunch so only brief impressions. From Imperial. This year, all folks who brought Magnums were outshined by this guy who generously turned up with an Imperial format. Wow! The wine did well too. Serious dark fruit, good ripeness as you can expect from 2009, but also adequate structure and freshness.

20 minutes of air, fruit is so vibrant and alive: strawberry all over, sweet cherry on the finish. In a phenomenal spot.
