  July 19, 2021 - 15 Mature Bordeauxs Magnums (with Heitz MV in the mix): From magnum. I didn’t like this. While not faulty, it was completely in the dried fruit, port-like spectrum with some unwanted age notes and without much tension and verve. There was some pleasant sweetness underneath but not enough to convince me that this is clearly well past it’s prime - at least from this magnum.

  July 3, 2021 - Magnum rarities tasting; 7/2/2021-7/3/2021 (Zunfthaus zur Waag, Zurich): Magnum rarities tasting hosted by a merchant and collector. The headline line-up of the main event featured 18 aged red wines from magnum which was preceded by warm-up tasting of a dozen aged reds. The highlights across both days were Chris Ringland 1998 (99), Montrose 1990 and Yquem 1948 (both 98). Also strong were Palmer 1989 (97), Cheval Blanc 1985 (97) and Léoville Poyferré 1990 (96). None of the wines were decanted prior to serving.
  
  Tasting note:
  From magnum. This was past its drinking window or at the very end, leaning over the abyss and just about to overbalance... Port-like bouquet with clear soy sauce notes, lacks structure.

  July 3, 2021 - Annual Richter Extravaganza (All bottles out of magnums): Again as with the '64 L'Angélus I was much more happy with this wine than others at the table. Very mature, with overly sweet notes of chocolate, caramel, gingerbread and surprisingly some porcini, this as well was lacking structure but had ths fun creamy, sweet and fairly long palate.

  November 6, 2020 - Straight up corked. Just got worse as the night went on. Not enjoyable. This whole lot was a def bummer from Heritage which is too bad since up until now we'd had a lot of luck with them (to be fair though, I've never had luck with this producer which is right bank and should fit what I love but just doesn't).
