In a very strange place. Was served a little cold, but just got heavy as it warmed up. Overwhelming citrus note. Had this wine a year ago and was much more youthful... The semillion is fighting with the sav blanc now and not in a good way.

Wine of the flight and My #3 WOTN. Not the best Palmer, but a very enjoyable "merlot" year Palmer.

Solid wine, more fruit driven than the Palmer served alongside. A little too young, tannins still dominating the finish... Lacking the depth I was hoping for.

New world style BDX that is strangely muted at this stage. dark flavors but nothing remarkable. Reminded me of a nice Cali cab that is slightly over the hill. Disappointing given the pedigree.

WOTN for many, my #2 of the evening. Beautiful wine. Had good depth richness and depth. Tannins have integrated nicely, I would think this is right at or around it's peak now.

Certainly the most polarizing wine of the night. The nose was strangely muted and on the palate it has an explosive dark fruit flavor on the front but quickly disappeared on the midpalate, with little to no finish. Seemed more like a Syrah. I enjoyed how different it was from everything else, but many others did not.

My WOTN. Equally as interesting and expressive on he nose as on the palate. Surprised how mature is tasted. Black fruits, cigar box, mellowed tannins and a slight black pepper note. Didn't love the cheese pairing, but who needs it with a wine like this in the glass.

Drinking well. Distinctly suduiraut. Butterscotch, honey, and a floral note. Good depth and sweetness.
