  May 10, 2013 - Lunch with Jeremy Parzen (Il Buco Alimentari & Vineria, NYC): [Brought by Joe.] Hard to rate a wine like this. It has definitely started its decline, but the nose is so ethereal. In the mouth, there are hints of maderization, but it is just lovely and still quite alive. A joy to drink. Like a quiet afternoon with your dearest grandmother.

  June 13, 2007 - SOBER tasting (Dan's place): Lovely dark nose, with hints of iodine. Nice, acidic fruit. Strawberries, dark cherries and some exotic fruits. Slightly short finish.

  August 10, 2006 - Old Huet, B. Mascarello & Chave at Dougherty's. (Dougherty's): A great example of disconnect between the nose and palate. The wine smelled terrific. Effusive and perfumed, full of roses, red cherry, beef blood and sassafras/root spices. Yet the palate shows none of the complexity and elegance the nose did, let alone any fruit. The wine was really coarse, dominated by tertiary elements with a massive acidic streak that longed for something of substance to stand up to it. The spiced duck breast did a great job of doing that, but without it, the wine just isn’t that pleasurable. I keep hearing folks say the wine often shows really well, but this is the third dud bottle I’ve tried. Low B- without food, B+ with.
