  August 7, 2022 - Great wine. Beautiful old Burgundy. Red fruit at the core soy and asian spices predominate. This wine and the 55 Lafite were the wines of the night

  March 7, 2020 - La Paulee 2020 - Gala Dinner (Pier 60): Dried tea leaves, herbs, aging rather well surprisingly. 93-94

  November 24, 2019 - Nose reduced to the essence of pinot berry with an interesting tertiary aroma of preserved medicinals and pressed flowers. Fading but still present fruit on the palate, salty and tart, gaining in density and weight with each sip. My guess is that this wine is past its prime, but the echos of that prime are still present. Sweetness emerges as the palate adjusts. What a wonderful opportunity to observe a wine in graceful later age. Impossible to rate, really, because the present is not the past.

  December 1, 2018 - Ken's 60th Birthday (Smyth - Chicago, IL): Likely a fake as determined Burgundy Al and others. I thought this was a reasonably pleasant Vosne with aged but still fresh fruit, clay and spice. High 80s showing.

  December 1, 2018 - Ken's 60th Birthday (Smyth and The Loyalist - Chicago IL): Served in an early 1970s DRC flight, I saw at least two aspects of the 1970 La Tâche label I considered questionable, so asked another dinner attendee to take a look. Clear consensus is that it was not likely actuall yLa Tâche. Then we looked at this bottle of 1970 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Richebourg, which was purchased at the same auction ten years ago (!) by a different dinner attendee, and too many of the incorrect elements were also there.
  
  This was a completely enjoyable older Burgundy, likely even from Vosne-Romanée, but unlikely it was DRC, not showing any of the rich, spice-driven character, even given its age and the challenges of the vintage.
