Opened Dec 25/21. Cork completely wet, extracted intact, and crumbled in hand. Wine browny red. Oxidized nose; mouthfeel astringent and unpleasant. Same after 30 minutes of decanting. Discarded. The cork was the likely culprit as provenance was excellent.

Favre-a-thon 6.0: Still showing very nice fruit, with leather, light spice, and just a touch of tobacco. Thankfully this held together and could be appreciated over a couple of hours.

Smoky, stemsy, vinous and sweet. It was quite floral in the mouth and had reasonable depth of black cherry fruit. It finished with fresh minerally acidity.

During a La Paulee dinner, so no detailed tasting notes. Sadly oxidized as well. Argh!

Eleventh Annual White Truffle Dinner (Chez Weber - Chicago IL): Very brief (very) late night tasting note. Better than expected. Very mature red cherry, earth. Good spice. Nice balance.
