Acker's Post-COVID BYO, Dinner and Auction Simulcast (Craft - New York NY): Small glass from magnum, brief note. Surprisingly slightly tired given the vintage and format, but still plenty of robust red and black cherry with subtle, nuanced spice, but perhaps more earth than i would prefer. Still, very good.

This is really dark in color and quite deep on the palate, especially for a 25 year old wine. Still very youthful. Good precision. Enjoyed this a lot. Noreetuh.

Goes to show you the amount of bottle variation you get at this age; both bottles I've opened were stored in the Angerville cellars until recently. This bottle had more dry game and cinnamon; not quite as vibrant but still fine. Volnay is so elegant and has such legs to age. Perfect with roasted marrow.

Gordon's Luxe Tasting (Gordon's Wines - Waltham, MA): Nose: Gorgeous red berries, strawberry, game, spice and leather notes. Palate: Beautifully resolved silky and balanced in the mouth. Great red fruit that gives sweet cherry, cranberry, red currant and sappy raspberry. This is backed up by minerality and a gamey note of raw duck and some sweet spices and pine notes. Complex and giving right now. Finish: Wow. grows more detailed as it finishes with a complex range of nuance.
Consumed with a fantastic lunch at Eastern Standard after the tasting. Thank you Marc! What a wine to end a great day of tasting.

S/JR dinner. Not in same class as Vosne at dinner... sweet, treacle, tarry nose. Richness on palate, but tart and acidic. Long finish.
