  a bit pale in comparison to a great btl I had in 2021. Felt slightly hollow and needed to flesh out more. There some meat on the bones but not enough. Guessing the btl showing slightly tired. Kinda tannic and not super expressive.

  The CFO's Birthday: A bit of a weird wine tonight. Dark in color with the appearance of a young wine, but with almost a delicate body in comparison. Didn't improve much in the decanter and it was also being copiously consumed by a wine newbie at the event, so double whammy. Wish I could've followed it over time.

  Light funkiness here, not atypical. Good length.

  The 1988 was blooming after a hour or so of air in the decanter. The wine is dark and meaty but with a stem profile that creates a spicy bright bump in the wine. It's a powerful mix of campfire, cracked pepper, black fruit, graphite. Normally when you think of those characteristics you think of something a bit heavier and monolithic but this wine was anything but. The acid component created a wrap around the flavor that made it almost seem elegant with such youthful balance behind it. Truly special wine.

  An overall funkiness here. Underwhelming bottle.
