Dinner at Union Square Cafe with Alastair, first time at the new location.US had been my go-to place in the old spot for great food and corkage friendly, excited to be back. Somm decanted this and a Charnu PNV next to each other. Drank this one first
From prior notes:"Medium garnet color, some bricking. Nose showing cherry, cedar, smoke, earth. Palate of dark raspberry, graphite, iron. Medium weight and finish."
This one showing more age than last bottle. Still expressive but moving to a secondary phase. Still plush in a right bank way, this bottle was starting to dry out some on the mid palate. Medium weight and finish. Would drink over the next few years

Brought this to dinner at Anton's in Lambertville, NJ. With Neeta and Manoj. Classic, old school and corkage friendly place. Bottle was opened, slow oxed for about 2 hours prior to drinking
Medium garnet color, some bricking. Nose showing cherry, cedar, smoke, earth. Palate of dark raspberry, graphite, iron. Medium weight and finish.
Elegant, Bdx styleded win. Nicely aged at this point. Wine is well into a seconday phase and drinking well. Would drink over next 2-4 years

The 2002 Verite La Joie was special last evening… soft / very pleasant. Glad to have one last bottle to share sometime soon!
