DoktaP, JoeG and Basecadet Visit KW (Dave's House): Popped and poured. Deep golden colour, seemingly more oxidized than the last bottle. On the nose, mashed pumpkin flesh, honey, herbs. Overall quite vegetal and oxidative. On the palate, lacking acidity, very cloying and unpleasant. Not consistent with the prior bottle. There was definitely something wrong with this.

Andrew's 27th Birthday (Dave's House): An exceptionally rare bottle, that does not typically see distribution anywhere in the world. This was put up for sale by LCBO Vintages, following a Beaucastel tasting event where most of the 36 bottles that made it outside the Chateau were consumed. Beautiful amber colour in the glass. Notes of orange rind, honeycomb and spice. Viscous texture, with a pleasant level of sweetness on the palate, and balancing acidity.

Super Tasting 3 of 6 - Dave's Epic Dinner (Kitchener, Ontario): This was a mess....oxidized. As Andrew noted...I am 1 for 3 on this.

Dave's Super Tasting (3 of 6) (Dave's House): Strangely tasted like butternut quash. A strange flaw. Did not drink.

Super Tasting 3 of 6; Dave Does a Mixed Bag (Dave's House): Very oxidative, tastes 20 years too old. Dumped. Batting 33% on this one.
