John started off with a roll- with no misses, he guessed Riesling, then Alsace, then 1989. When he guessed Boxler Craig countered with ZH. John then nailed vineyard on next guess. 4 out of 5 pretty impressive. Still young, dry but not bone dry, Apple, peach, ginger. B+

Stellar Night of Bordeaux (NYC): A bit of petrol, notes of sherry-oxidation on the bouquet, but rich and creamy to taste. Not much fruit showing, but good dry extract.

Old Bordeaux with Patrick back in town (Fabio's, NYC): Hasn't changed much since the last bottle I had in 2012. Tart and dry on the palate but not at all austere, lots of ripe citrus and pear fruit tinged with mineral and mature smoky notes, and bracing acids beneath. Lovely.

Pit fruits, ginger, some stony soil notes. This is Olivier but still in Leonard style. Good showing. B+/A-

Good freshness, gingery spice over citrus/apple fruit, some mineral. B+
