Allowed to breathe in glass 45 minutes before tasting. Subdued, tertiary bouquet of tobacco, shoe polish, saddle soap, red fruit, savory meat juice. With aeration, the fruit became more evident. Balanced and elegant on the palate, medium body with nice finish.

Sadly, long last its prime despite good storage conditions. Muted fruit and little remaining complexity. Medium finish with just enough tannins remaining to make this wine ok when paired with food. Drink now.

Clos Pegase night; first of a 95-97 Hommage vertical. Aged gracefully, mellow and medium bodied cherry cab flavors; drinking very nicely. Not too straightforward, not too complex; smooth, soft and balanced.

Showed little signs of age as far as bricking. Nice garnet color. Nose and flavors were nothing special however and I doubt this will improve with further ageing.

Clean and savory. Celery seed, vanilla bean, cranberry and refurbished barn wood. A gliding finish. Subtle. Drink now - 2020.
