  Red in the bowl and orange/brown on the edge. Black cherries, raspberries in the nose with hints of floral and minerals. Black raspberries and black cherries in the flavor with spice notes. Well structured, medium bodied and a medium to long finish. 91/92

  The biggest disappointment of the night was clearly a counterfeit version of 1996 Mouton Rothschild which was purchased in the aftermarket well after release. Past the slightly stained label and soft Mouton cork was a suspiciously good fill. The most obvious clue was the lack of any sediment in the bottle when decanting though it did have an earthy Bordeaux nose. However, when poured there was zero resemblance to a Mouton Rothschild. The wine was poured down the drain and replaced with a 2008 Kapcsandy Grand Vin and a 2007 Bryant Family both of which were excellent.

  Deep ruby red color. Black raspberries, blackberries, licorice and hints of chocolate and earthiness in the nose. Black currants, blackberries, black cherries, plums, and blueberries in the flavor with a hint of minerality. A complex wine, full bodied, well balanced with nice acidity and a long lingering finish. This was served with the dessert course which worked but this may have scored even higher with the main course. beef or lamb.
