PNP at Traube Tonbach Blackberry with a hint of mustard and ramp and cranberry . We decided that it’s at the latter part of its window as the fruit was a little muted in hour 2.

Sixteenth Annual White Truffle Dinner (Inovasi - Lake Bluff IL): Alongside the 1996. This '98 was much more fruit-driven, less spiced or structured, but still holding on nicely. Finish was getting slightly tired. Some others thought it getting a bit muddy, but I thought it correct for the vintage, just probably time to enjoy by 2025 or so.

Candy fruit, menthol, stems, wild berries, tangerine peel and purple fruit on the nose. Palate was fine and balanced with beautiful structure and transperency. I really like this wine tonight. 93+

Wines Tasted at HDH Auction; 2/19/2016-2/20/2016 (Tru Restaurant - Chicago IL): Served single blind alongside the 1996 vintage. Enchanting spice driven aromatic start with black berry and cherry. Open and forward, at first it's easy to think this is straightforward and just good, but it kept evolving and improving with more time in glass. I screwed up the blind order at first, but eventually we figured out which was which. Most slightly preferred the 1996, but others were surprised how close the two were in terms of quality.

Consistent with previous note. Drinking so well. Loved the menthol and herbs on the palate. Everything was so integrated. 93-94
