Acker BYO (Domaine Wine Storage, Chicago IL): nose: absolutely stunning from the get go with flowing tones of black pepper, black fruits, some leather and horsey tones, bacon fat, violets and a touch of bleu cheese. Lots of depth and complexity that does beguile the senses a bit.
taste: medium/full bodied with medium acidity and some nice supporting tannins. Very well balanced with silky and layered tones of black pepper, bacon fat, black fruits, leather and a bit of bleu cheese.
overall: this was a real stunner. This was from magnum and was flying out of the gates. The tones would jump in the glass and the palate had a real refinement to it as well. This was a real treat.

Aromas jumped out of the glass on this wine. Tar, Plums, spice, cured meat galore. Very fresh, silky and seamless on the palate. Nice long lingering finsih. Just a pleasure to taste.
SS 93pts.

Acker Merrall BYO (Domaine Storage - Chicago IL): Tasting. Horsey, barnyard character. This bottle at least was well past its peak.
