An Ambitious Birthday Celebration Effort (Los Olivos, CA): Despite the fairly solid cork which came out intact, the wine was disappointingly advanced. While it offered both acid and sugar, there was precious little fruit, just a caramelized flavor profile. More interesting than delicious.

In magnum, purchased on release. Tropical fruit, peach, and straw. It still retained medium plus acidity that balanced it off with the ripe fruit to give it freshness. But the palate was monolithic, especially in the context of Montrachet. 90+

Rain storms and burgundy (and rhone): A story of Favre's birthday in Los Angeles. (N/Naka): excellent richness on the palate, far more youthful than I would have guessed. The only issue I had was I couldn't coax anything out of the nose except for a hint of oak.

My favorite of the Montys last night. Beautiful wine. Great fruit and balance. Rich long. Outstanding.
