Took to Lenox Sophia (BYOB). Excellent restaurant and one of the few higher end places in Boston where you can bring your own wine. Initial wine of evening so was pretty much a pop and pour. This would have benefited from at least a quick decant I believe so I should have asked - noticed another table did have a decanter later. Actually the more complex of the 2 wines - seems like it would have had more whole cluster but don't actually know if that's the case. Fruit a bit more subdued. Noticeably herbal with some spice notes. Would have preferred a bit more acidity to get a bit more cut but overall an interesting wine. I'll score the same as the follow-on but more for the complexity here. I enjoyed the Tawse a bit more and would choose a glass of that over this if I could have had one more glass at end of meal.

Took to Lenox Sophia (BYOB). Excellent restaurant and one of the few higher end places in Boston where you can bring your own wine. 2nd wine of evening and paired well with the duck and dessert course. Opened at beginning of meal so probably was open an hour+. Seemed ready to drink to me but it will likely develop more secondary characteristics in the future. I prefer with the fruit still prominent so was fine now. Nice balance, cherry but not too dark. Very good but not singing - might have needed a bit more decant.

Decent but generally disappointed. Kind of flabby and soft. That’s mostly what I remember about it. Might not have been the best bottle.
