Another great tasting - some amazing wines were poured tonight. Thanks Dan!
First bottle opened was very slightly corked. Showed of pencil lead, plums and mushrooms. Silky, balanced, with a slightly short finish.
Second bottle was much better, at least for a little bit. Nose of tobacco and pencil lead. Lovely, silky palate, with dark red fruit, a bit of red bell pepper, and just enough acid. A bit of black pepper as well. I wanted to give it time to show even better, but instead it faded hard into a garbagey mess after 30 mins in the glass. 92 points at its best showing.

Nose of tobacco leaf. Bright red cherries with a touch of earthiness. Nicely acidic. Tobacco notes over time. Lengthy, acidic finish. Very, very nice. Still on the younger side of its prime.

Leathery nose. Elegant wine. Shows almost like an older syrah, but there are clear cab franc notes. Plums and toasty oak; a bit creamy. Slightly short finish. Too much oak, but otherwise a cery nice wine.

A bit of cherry, and musty earthiness on the nose. Acidic, dark cherry on the palate. Balanced, with some earthy notes. A bit of ammonia or cat pee thing going on too. Just didn't do it for me.

Roussanne or Sauvignon Blanc were my guesses for the grape on this. Lemony nose with slightly floral and grassy elements. Tasty and easy drinking, but not overly simple. A bit of lemon rind. Tropical fruits, papaya, orange rind and lanolin. Very nice.

Funky Burgundy nose (overcooked popcorn?) - I can already tell this is a Coche. Much nicer with food. Very tough for me to get past the nose, although when I do, it's a beautiful wine. Nice woodiness. If it weren't for that 86 I had that was so amazing, it'd be easy to swear off these given the price point.

Nose of cola. bitter, somewhat acidic. Not good. Astringent, with a malic / lactic / sour milk thing going on.

Elegant nose of strawberry and limestone. Acidic, bright young strawberry fruit. Delicious.

Nose of white pepper, red plum, and raspberry. Gorgeous, silky wine. Mature, but not fading at all. My guess was a 1970.

Unappealing nose of nail polish and burnt orange. Very acidic on the palate, with orange and a touch of tobacco. Past its prime, but can taste a bit of the promise it once held.

Dark, leathery, plummy, earthy nose. Tasty and balanced, with nice acids. Elegant, earthy, mushroomy notes with lovely strawberry and raspberry fruit.

Lovely dark nose, with hints of iodine. Nice, acidic fruit. Strawberries, dark cherries and some exotic fruits. Slightly short finish.

Lovely elegant nose - unquestionably a burgundy. Gorgeous, elegant wine on the palate. Perfectly in harmony. Wonderful. Edges out the 67 Latour for WOTN.
