February 28, 2024 - Acker "Paulee" Burgundy Dinner (Capital Seafood - Beverly Hills CA): Paulee style dinner. Not quite as exciting as the Beze 88 tasted next, this was more burly and less perfectly composed. Others liked this more.

November 2, 2022 - Tasted blind, this wine had a red center and puce/tan rims. The medium+ intensity nose showed tan spices, cherries, plums, rhubarb, and soil.
In the mouth, this wine was attractively balanced and showed sweet fruit. It had great balance, firm acidity, and great length.
This wine appears to be fully mature but it should certainly last at this level for another 5-10 years. Enjoy -

October 30, 2022 - Decanted for several hours, served blind amid a flurry of Bordeaux and Barolo this stood out in a good way. I guessed early to mid nineties Ponsot CdlR. Faded cherry fruit, mixed with some funk and oak tannin/spice. Silky and elegant palate, deeply flavorful and slightly sweet with taut but well proportioned acidity and perfectly resolved tannins that unleash the wine to really caress and linger on the finish. Very special bottle in tip top shape.

June 11, 2022 - Pre-2002 Rousseau Dinner (WS NYC): Needed air to show true potential, but then it rounded into form with a density and texture that outclassed the '76. Still on the upswing, this wine could be the most amazing bottle I've ever had in another 10 years. WOTN.
