Friday, December 12, 2014 - Galoots Lunch (Double Zero Napoletano- Sandy Springs): Good garnet color with nice clarity; tasted side by side with the 2007 this was amazingly fresher, ripe but cool dark red kind of a blue hue to the fruit, leather, lots of berry, dark cherry and raspberry, clean, deep though fresh, very Burg-like to me; palate is very similar with refreshing acid, ripe but not overdone; not as good as the one served during the 2000 retrospective but a well stored and great example of how brilliant this wine can be.

I might even prefer it with a little more age, but there would be no harm in opening now. Their 1990 was legendary which I drank in 2011, so they are capable of lasting quite a while.

That goes for quite a lot of my bottles though, and something I can live with considering I usually pay a lot less than retail price for them and I don't need to wait out 15 years for them in my own cellar :)
