Oenetrians Dinner - Still alive and well with just a hint of hazelnuts and big flavor profile. Dried dense orchard fruit with a good spicy frame. Drinking nicely perhaps a tad simple next to the Montrachet. Drink up.

Consumed over 1 week. Was big, rich and deep when opened; was still big, rich and deep 1 week later! Was even showing more tropical fruits in the end-peaches, apricots, maybe a hint of pineapple, crème brulee. Surprised how well this held up and even opened up over such a long time. Upgraded my initial score of 92 to 94. That might even be lower than it deserves.

Good Wine with a Boring Super Bowl (Chez Kailin - Northbrook IL): Still quite vibrant with good stone fruit and just starting to show earthiness, but overall good length, balance and intensity.
