Absolutely surprising and sublime. Clearly an older wine with touch of orange at the rim. Transparent, light bodied, lithe, balanced and ethereal. Touch of sweet fruit, liquor, and slight tart finish. Blind, I would have guessed an old burgundy. Just an absolute treat, amazing showing for a 16 year old CdR.

Sunday, September 05, 2004 Deep ruby, almost purple. Mineral, meat and smoke on the nose. Not as tight as I might have thought although the tannins in this wine will carry it for some time. Fairly good drinking wine now, but I suspect it will improve over the next 4 to 5 years or so. 13.5% alc. ~9.5.04.

Grenache at Momo's: Blind Red 6 - Touch fading at the rim. Vinous smelling. Tired? Touch of liqueur. Flat and boring. We debated whether this wine will survive and improve for another day. I am of the opinion that it will not.
