Every bit as good as the last bottle. A nice touch of bretty funk, loads of rustic corton fruit. So perfumed and vibrant. Fantastic acidity, and nice tannic grip on the finish. The Girardin wines from 99-02 have all been spectacular of late.

Pinot from around the world (Pacific Dining Car): Tasted blind. Very perfumed nose; showed a tiny bit of brett/funk at first, but that blew off. Fantastic acidity; spicy red fruit. Beautiful finish; tannin that builds with time. Seems like Burgundy. One of my favorites of the bunch.
After the reveal: Yum.
