Friday Night Brown Bagger (J&J's): Double blind. Black fruit followed by band aid and plastic, chemical notes. The same on the palate. Bouillon and plastic with air- not getting better. Myself and another taster shot each other a look when a few others commented that this was rich and a good wine, as if we were tasting different bottles. To each his own. (J&J)

Double decanted an hour before service. Good color and nose, but starting to go over the hill. The wine went well with steak, but no longer has the stuffing to drink on its own. Definitely drink up.

Cork in good shape. Past its prime but drinking okay. Some tart red fruit, followed by tobacco , grilled herbs and earth and savory flavors on the finish. Better in its younger days for my preference.

Courtesy of J&J, showing a bit of bricking. Leather and black currant notes, a bit rustic but enjoyable.

Very Graves nose, wet stone, gingerbread, gravel. Spicy and fully mature. Excellent tannins.
