Saturday, March 21, 2009 - Beaucastel Vertical 81-01 (Gurnee IL, Jordan's house): nose: rich and honeyed nose with all sorts of nutty tones, honeysuckle, sour lemons, star fruits, all sorts of various oils and citrus hints. Very deep and intriguing nose that is fully mature

taste: great feel with smokey tones, roasted nuts, drops of honey, citrus tones, various oils, and sour lemons

overall: the color was very rich and golden which caused some worry when popped. Upon first smell it wasn't a problem at all. As it opened up and warmed up a bit the mid palate formed a lot more and became more rich. Can definitely last longer, but there's little reason to not to drink it now
