May 19, 2022 - Thursday hangout at Domaine (Chicago, IL): Extremely potent green menthol and pyrazine notes on the nose. Slightly plummy black fruit as well. On the palate, this is quite resolved and pleasantly silky in texture, with a distinct and powerful menthol note again. An excellent showing for a less-renowned vintage.

November 25, 2021 - At 28 years, would it have survived? Yes, and nicely with blackberry and plum tones, cedar tones and a hint of pencil shavings on nose. The palate is claret weight, but the fruit is distinctly New World. Some tannic astringency is still present on the finish, plus a touch of black prune. With Thanksgiving dinner the tannins were easily balanced by the traditional cuisine. I did enjoy this wine but I don’t know that it will get much better than it is now.
