The Second Avery Family Cellar Wine Dinner - Really old wines (The Grill Room at the Rosewood DC): A bit more advanced than the last bottle. Medium expression nose displaying apple juice, sweet spices, sweet and sour sauce and mineral. Medium concentration, dense yellow fruit driven palate impression, good mineral presence and a medium burnt sugar driven finish Not as good as the last bottle but still enjoyable.

Avery Family Cellar Inaugural Wine Dinner - Really old wines (Eddie V's - Tysons Corner, VA): Beautiful light golden color. Surprisingly energetic nose displaying sugarless apple juice, a hint of citrus, flint, white flowers, limestone and lanoline. Medium concentration, mouth puckering acidity, strong presence of mineral and a long mineral driven finish. I suspect that this would have been painful to drink young. Still quite precise and energetic which are remarkable.

Avery Family Cellar Wine Dinner - The Worst Wine Dinner of my life (The Grill Room at Rosewood DC): Second bottle The cork fell in but tightly sealed. A bit dirty and madeirized. Fresher than the bottle before.

Avery Family Cellar Wine Dinner - The Worst Wine Dinner of my life (The Grill Room at Rosewood DC): First bottle, slightly madeirized. It can be enjoyed like a nice fino sherry.

Third rendition of Avery Family Cellar Wine Dinner - Root day and '14 DRCs to the rescue! (Mirabelle restaurant, Washington D.C.): Similar to the February bottle. Slightly advanced nose displaying apple juice, candied orange peel, copper, sweet spices, cumin, caramel and mineral. Medium concentration, deeply toned yellow fruit driven palate impression, strong acidity, good mineral presence and a medium finish. It needs earthy mushrooms like chanterelle, morel or shiitake.
