Dinner at Yann's (Flatiron, NYC): Perfect ruby. The nose is huge and hugely floral, perfumed, essential rosewater; altogether remarkable -- I didn't expect this kind of glory! The palate is tannic and taught, very much a virile '78; excellent sweetness, red plum skins, pie cherry. A fine texture. Medium bodied, with very nice length where it shows a bit simple, but very good nonetheless. Excellent wine! An immaculate wine on both nose and palate, skirting perfection for its type and absolutely a point in maturity. Again rosewater, perfumed glory. Jeebus this is good...

HUB / HDH Bonnes Mares & Mersault tasting (University Club): Pale brick/crimson. Nice round very floral cherry nose. Lovely rich round sweet spicy black cherry on the palate. A great example of mature burgundy. It was best right from bottle and definitely fell off after 15 minutes or so in glass. 94+ pts.
