December 26, 2020 - My second questionable 2002 in a row (Shafer HS). Flavor just not what I would expect. May have been my taste buds getting over a cold (thought I was home free), so have to review a score. Lesson learned; don't drink high end wines soon after a cold.

June 22, 2020 - Decanted three hours. Dense, monochromatic. Threw off unpleasant amount of sediment in the glass.

March 5, 2020 - La Paulée Zachy's Auction - Thursday (Le Bernardin Privé): Pruny ripe plum fruit nose. Very ripe and also astringent. Not my cup of team.

March 5, 2020 - Zachys La Paulee Auction; 3/5/2020-3/6/2020 (Le Bernardin Prive - New York NY): Small glass, brief note. Oddly very ripe and bitter at the same time. Some liked this, while I liked aspects of it, but not overall.

February 27, 2020 - Fairly advanced, some fruit but also some mature notes. Alcoholic, not particularly well integrated, but still fairly fun to drink if it is not too warm
