"Baby are you okay? You've barely touched your Char-spookerie." (Chicago, IL): Served double blind. Initially this was so stinky and reductive I thought it was corked, but the TCA did not bloom, so I was wrong on that count. For my taste, this was very thin and acidic, and showed a lot of earthiness and relatively little fruit. The structure and acidity had me guessing 1995 and 2001 and Nuits at first. Others liked this more than I did.

Well worth the tariff of $50 for a back vintage like this. Initially a bit sour, evened out with some air and even showing a bit of structure left. Bright cherry fruit, lovely.

Nice dark spicy red fruited flavors, but a bit tired.

Jim's Retirement Party (Libertyville, IL): From magnum. Flawed or just tired and slightly dirty?

Bottle breathe for 45 min. Very integrated and elegant. Nice fruit and smooth.
