  Dinner w/Brad & Maggie (Eleven Madison Park): A very lovely wine although a bit hard to see the 98 score. It's a lovely end of evening sipper and I enjoyed the bit more body that the raisin and red gives to it. A touch hot. Not quite into the layered complexity and perhaps coming off of the '06 Abreu which was a real mouthful it suffered a bit. But still a nice wine.

  Souper de 50 ans à la maison: Note écrite 48 hrs plus tard avec le fond de bouteille. Le vin n'a pas bougé.
  
  Nez de chocolat noir amer, avec des notes de mélasse, de cannelle.
  La bouche est assez puissante, concentrée mais très onctueuse, c'est riche et gourmand, la finale est harmonieuse, avec encore des tanins bien enrobés. Ce vin est d'une jeunesse époustouflante! Un Recioto profond, parfaitement maîtrisé. 96 pts

  Honorary Quintarelli Tasting (Copenhagen): Very beautiful and intense smell of glue and varnish with a powerful edge of perfumed dark plum fruit and vanilla-yoghurt.
  Extremely sweet on the palate with plenty of balanced dark plum fruit but still with an impressive lightness and freshness to it. It has an impressive complexity with loads of layers of dark chocolate, leather and spices. The texture is almost creamy and the wine is in a full and perfect balance.
  Clearly one of the best sweet wines of the world and an extraordinary experience to taste!
