  Eighth Annual White Truffle Dinner (Chez Weber - Chicago IL): Incredibly fresh and energetic for a wine its age, showing almost as much red fruit as great earthy/ forest character. I never would have thought it this old if tasted blind.

  Rioja through the Decades (The Sampler, South Ken, London): Acidity, old style rioja. Some sweetness, some oak notes. Unfortunately this has a bitter acidity on the midpalate that is a bit off putting. Bottle variation?

  Dinner with López de Heredia wines 1934-1976 (Cambio de Tercio, London SW5): Dusty nose, fresh fruit on the palate, with a nice sweet tone, but it finished abruptly

  Again, that light nose of coffee, mocha powder, dried roses. Dusty and a little dry on the palate. Lots of acid and slightly bitter. Nose - 4/6, Palate - 4/6, Finish - 4/6, Je Ne Sais Quoi - 0/2 = 12/20.

  Spainish Treasures #3 over Lunch at Mugaritz (San Sebastian, Spain): Second time trying this in 2 days. Similar to yesterday's bottle, but just slightly muted compared to that one.
