  September 13, 2021 - Business dinner in DC
  
  Overripe red and dark plums, blueberries, black cherries. Cedar, older leather and tobacco/cigar box, as well as sweet baking Spices. Soft tannins, not much acid. Pretty typical Pomerol.
  
  Probably 2-3 years past peak; but who is complaining? Great pairing with lamb chops.

  June 14, 2015 - Another inexpensive 2000 vintage winner from Bordeaux. Bottom feeding with these wines has paid off handsomely. Light brickish top with some serious umami. This wine had more fruit and texture than i expected. Chalky, chewy tannin. It still has some life ahead of it, but why wait?

  May 16, 2015 - This was the best of my bottles. It had a little bricking, but the wine was a lovely mixture of soy, sun-ripened blackberry juice, and forest floor. Each sip evoked the "yum" factor as a result. This was my last bottle of a case.
