Guys night - course meal (Kevin and Vicki's house): Drank a small glass over an hour. The nose and initial palate seem rich and meaty, but the palate turns lighter on the finihs. Tobacco, funk and earth. This seems at peak.

Guy's Night: Variety Pack (Rocknroller's (Kevin & Vicki's Place)): Dark red color, with a 4mm transition to clear. PNP, drank a glass over 90 minutes. Gorgeous nose with so much earth and minerality; damp earth and a touch of funk, cherry, iodine, tobacco leaf, iron, and saddle leather. The palate is medium plus bodied, very poised and delivers the whole package with a nice balance of red fruits with cherry and some darker black raspberry notes; lots of dried earth and then the iodine, mineral, tobacco, and leather come through. Fine tannins, complex, and long. There was a touch of wonk that quickly blew off with a couple swirls. Loved it.

Blind "Grand Cru" with Lobster & Flannery Steak (House of Nanda - Chicago IL): Tasted double blind. Dense and meaty with more black than red fruit. Seemed like it was from a riper vintage than 1998 and I thought it also older (at first 1989), but with enough concentration and power to remain very interesting. Best I can ever recall for this wine.

(Louis Jadot Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Domaine Louis Jadot) Slightly bricking, medium dark cherry red color; nice, bright, ripe red fruit, cherry, red berry, horehound nose; tasty, still a little tight, tart cherry, tart red fruit, mineral palate with near medium acidity; medium-plus finish

Consistent with my prior notes. I love everything about this wine, and it will only improve. At least a decade of improvement ahead.

Double blind. Great spice and stem qualities in the full, layered nose. The palate has very nice fruit and freshness. In a great spot right now.
