  December 4, 2020 - Decanted with dinner at Clarity in Vienna, VA. Pleasant enough, and actually improved over the course of dinner, but not up to the quality of the first bottle from a couple of years back.

  October 15, 2020 - I probably shouldn't rate this, as it was consumed over the course of 3 dinners in Chicago. The first night it was decanted and drunk with the finale (duck) at Smyth Restaurant, and seemed strangely muted. But given that the preceding courses at Smyth had me wishing to be stricken with COVID-19 in the hopes of losing my sense of taste, it may well have been that my taste buds had surrendered to the odd flavors and inconsistent cooking.
  
  Seemed better the second night with the Peking duck at Sun Wah BBQ (one of the true Chicago dining treasures), but nowhere near the heights of the first bottle of this from two years ago.

  October 5, 2018 - Decanted, and drank with the tasting menu at Goosefoot in Chicago. An '03 with no sense of heat; just a wonderful bottle of Burgundy - beautiful nose, lovely fruit, and great structure. Evolved beautifully over dinner, and no sense of fading any time soon.

  February 24, 2017 - PNV Week - No Cabernet Palate Cleansing Dinner (Farmstead, St. Helena, CA): Moving into the reds, nice contribution from Jay. PnP
  
  Medium ruby red color. Nose of blue fruits, savory notes, spices and incense. Darker fruit palate, dark cherry, blueberry. Great purity and precision with this wine. Would have benefited from more air time...very nice

  June 18, 2013 - Started out with no decant as a very ripe burgundy. After about 1-12 hours it leaned out a bit and became really nice. red fruited. Hold remaining bottles at lease 5 years
