Friday, February 8, 2008 - Great Older Wines at the Place to Drink Great Older Wines; 2/8/2008-2/9/2008 (Tampa FL): Red fruit and earth on nose with cedar and dried herbs. Some red and black fruit were still also lingering around on the palate, with interesting pepper and herbs. Leaner than the 1942 in the next glass, but this tasted more "real" to me. It is obviously hard to evaluate this wine and the 1942 in the next glass. With war raging throughout France, Europe and the world, they are historical time capsules and also historical oddities. But I guess wine goes on, as life goes on, even without the materials to produce the best wine possible.
