First Growth Nite, PRIMA - nose is fruity but also oaky. Mouth of red round fruit with coffee/toffee secondary flavors. Ready to drink it seemed. I couldnt tell if it seemed a touch overripe or if relative to the older first growths we had it was just a younger fruitier wine.
First Growth Nite at PRIMA - stinky nose, smells a bit like garbage. Mouth - extremely mellow, delicious, subtle fruit punch (cherry, strawberry) secondary flavors. Delicious and delicate. It was better just sipping without any food to interfere.

First Growth Nigh at PRIMA - And you may ask why this wine is included in the group - cuz someone snuck it in with a decayed label that failed to betray it, and had everyone guessing on their toes, poor John even hazarded to call it a Margaux - but hot damn good stuff. A clever ploy. A musky nose and very smooth and well integrated.
First Growth Night at PRIMA - My WOTN. Nose of plums and blood. In the mouth great fruit, very well balanced with terrific acidity. Technically an excellent wine & delicious
First Growth Night at PRIMA - nose of wet earth per Brian. On the mouth its very smooth but has a touch of rottenness. There tannins are very muted. This wine is ready to drink or past prime.
