  Passed it’s prime. Skunks for a few hours. Rose petals and tar. Much better after a few hours

  Ornellaia Dinner (Stefani Prime - Lincolnwood IL): Lingering red fruit in a vibrant package. Good depth, layered and maybe more interesting than really tasty, but sometimes that is fine.

  2 hour decant. Still very alive, good fruit notes not very sour. Great bottle condition.

  Wines with 25+ Years Non-Blind (Bin 75 Alpharetta, GA): Sweet tea copper, fully resolved color; incense, dried roses, maduro cigar, dried fruit, leather; balsamic on the palate, still very alive, very interesting, I wanted to smell this all day but I feel the palate was a little bit better which is something you rarely say, incredible amount of umami that keeps building; very good and surprisingly delicious; finally a Borgogno that exceeds expectation.

  Very light color in the glass, but the wine got better and better with air. Overall it was consistent with my previous experience. Complex nose of dried flowers, caramel, quite a bit of red fruit, tar, and cherries. Good structure with present tannins and fruit notes that picked up weight with air. Long finish. Amazing experience.
