Friday, July 1, 2016 - Wanted to repeat my 05.12.2015 food matching experience; cote de boeuf - this time dry-aged - and shitake. Local asparagus are in season so added some fried ones as well. Only got to give it 11/2 h decant, perhaps that is why the wine did not feel in sync to me. Basically, the vanilla notes was too present. Much to like about this wine, even the vanilla. My wife loved it, this was her first time tasting it. I loved it a bit less than in December 2015. By all means pretty enjoyable now but I am mostly thinking about how good this will be when things integrate more. Added: Kept 40% of the bottle overnight in fridge. As it was picking up temp in the glass, more barnyard notes on the nose while firm towards delicate in the mouth. However, overall the wine was now disturbed by an alcohol stint.
