  A 1974 Napa Retrospective (Zunfthaus zur Waag Zürich): I enjoyed this wine much more than other people around the table. Consensus was, that this was doa. I liked the malty-caramel notes and it was quite full bodied and long in the palate. But I concede that this was probably more my personal taste that let me enjoy this.

  For my wife's 40th. Very cedary nose, which reminds me of some St Julien I have had from 1990-2000. But this is 40 year old Napa! Had this next to a 2007 stags leap SLV and this was comparable in richness, body, freshness - with better acidity to keep it lively. The SLV had more voluptuous fruit, but did not taste any better. Also, this held up for 4 hours in the glass, which was surprising. We were both very impressed and enjoyed the bottle very much.

  JL 40th birthday dinner at One Thirty One (Sai Kung, Hong Kong): This is the sort of specimen that makes wine drinking a fun hobby -- a totally unexpected, off the path unknown bottle that throws up pleasant surprises. Aromas of dried spices, old leather and ripe fig on the nose, with an additional hint of what some said to be butterscotch, or caramel, something of that sort. But importantly the fruit was dark red and much alive, richly topped up up with the usual dusty broom cupboard, mushroomy (in a pleasant way) aromas that surround this fine old wine, I have to say it all made for a most interesting and enjoyable drinking experience
