OMG #105 (Ann Arbor, MI): 13.5% abv. Impeccably balanced. Seamless. Very savory and a little wild, while staying grounded in sophisticated fruit. In a great spot, and I sensed it won't be fading anytime soon.

Opened my first of 2 recently acquired btls from a private cellar retail offer. Tried my Ah So right out of the gate but the dry cork broke in 2. Then I tried my old fashioned bit cork screw and pushed into the btl. So, I was forced to double decant. First sips were excellent! 93pts Almost drinking like 25yr old Chambolle. Palate remained stronger than the nose. I poured back into another btl shortly after opening in hopes to protecting it from too much air. All in all, not as stellar as I hoped but there was at least a 25% chance of catching it past prime. Not 100% perfect but pretty enjoyable for its ethereal palate w/ sous-bois, pretty red fruit, mineral along w/ faint leather & earth notes. Nose was ok but not to cherish :). Not going to open my 2nd immediately but I'll get to it by early summer.

4 hour slo-ox, 1 hour decant. Still needed time in the glass to open up and blow off some funk. Initial green on the midpalate. Gone after half an hour in the glass. Medium bodied, smooth mouthfeel, beautiful dark fruit with multiple layers of secondary and tertiary notes, cedar and oak. One glass kept in the decanter for about 24 hours was even better. Delight to drink.

Probably the best Pegau I had. Just stunning and so complex. Loved the nose, very Pauillac like with cigar box, cedar and then evolved to more garrigue. Palate is so balanced between the sweetness of dart fruits and the acidity, earthy and tertiary notes. Just perfect.
