July 21, 2017 - Third rendition of Avery Family Cellar Wine Dinner - Root day and '14 DRCs to the rescue! (Mirabelle restaurant, Washington D.C.): Once again from RJ’s cellar and this seems to be a mature example, a significant bottle variation coming from the same case. Harmonious ripe nose displaying apple butter, lemon, shitake, oyster, candied ginger and oyster shell. Medium concentration, fine mousse, decadent red fruit driven palate impression, medium acidity and a medium to long lemon curd and apple butter driven finish. Paul likes the mature expression but I am hoping for a bit more freshness. Riper than the previous bottles.
