Thanksgiving Dinner (Los Gatos, California): Tasted next to Hugel Tokay Pinot Gris of the same year. A shade deeper than that wine-deep yellow but still astonishingly light for its age. Lower pitched stone fruit, and no botrytis here. Denser and drier than the Pinot Gris, but marred by a dirty element that suggests unclean barrels rather than terroir. Still enjoyable despite this and a wonder in terms of how well it has aged. No question that the late harvest Tokay was the far better wine tonight though.

fucking wonderful! Sooo floral, really sweet with honey, acetone notes. Very rich on the nose, and even smells thick and viscous. But the finish was a little short.

30th Birthday Dinner Redux (Le Gourmand: Seattle, WA): Light golden peach color. The nose gives off some petrol and white stone fruits. Complex with honey and pears. The palate is medium weight with moderate sweetness and just enough acidity. Lush and silky mouthfeel. Medium length finish with peach, pear, and fig.

A private dinner (@ Home): Fût 52. Waxy and honeyed, peaches, good intensity, medium-sweet (52 gr RS), stylish and restrained, good length. Now - 2016.
