PnP. Color is definitely to the browning side. Nose has some funk and leather. Still alive on the palate though clearly fully mature and time to drink. Hints of dark fruit, leather, minerals, pepper and some roasted meat. Quite pleased that this showed as well as it did.

Intronization into Rhone (Riverpark): What a treat to try this. It's definitely time to drink up, but the wine was drinking really well. Has gone from secondary to tertiary notes. I get a bit more leather. But those darker black berries are still going well. And it's a bit funky and savory as well. Very fun wine.

Wine Dinner @ Pinxtos (San Francisco): A wine that polarized many people. If you can get beyond the funky aromas (which I personally could), there was a lot here to like.Red fruits, minerals, freshly plowed earth (some would say fecal?). Complex and full of wonderful mature flavors. One of my favorites of the night, although others were less enthusiastic.

In a perfect place. Spherical. Green olives, slight white pepper a modestly sweet red and black fruit palate. Lovely medium throttle aged Rhône
