  Sweet nose of dark fruit, earth and banana oil. Medium length. Beautiful balance.

  A 65th Birthday Celebration, Slightly COVID Delayed (EL Ideas - Chicago IL): Late night, small glass, brief note. There were very differing opinions about this wine. Clearly there was some madeirized character here, but that did not particularly bother me. There was good intensity and enough vibrancy to encourage me to continue on, and i found enough intriguing nooks and crannies to find it enjoyable.

  Le Cinq Legends Dinner 2018 (Le Cinq Restaurant, George Cinq Four Seasons, Paris): Disappointing. Thin and flat. No match for the other great '55 Bordeaux in the flight

  A Few Favorite Wines (Vaucluse): Bottle was not in the best shape, but that didn't seem to bother the wine at all. Poured a really dark red. This was quite young and vibrant as well. No detailed notes unfortunately, but a wine that I enjoyed revisiting throughout the dinner. It was just a hint musty on the first sip, but that blew off quickly and the fruit was definitely still there along with some more secondary notes. Still going strong and a real treat to try.

  Birthday wine I gave to my friend a month ago and he graciously served it at my birthday dinner last night. This was already in the decanter 2.5 hours before I was able to taste it and it had become somewhat Madeirized, with a sweet port nose and some slight sweetness on the palate. Nevertheless, the body was full and complex with some silky tannins remaining and notes of chocolate and cherry. What a treat. If I ever get another bottle I'd love to see how it evolves right after opening.
