  Burgundy Dinner with Friends (71 Above - Los Angeles CA): Certainly still fresh enough for nearing 50 yo. Not much forthcoming aromatically, but there are rich flavors showcasing mature apple and apple cider character. Still good.

  Maderized, with a nutty, sherry and pertrol quality, not much fruit remained.

  Toffee, nutty nose. Lemon custard, caramel apple and sweet honeysuckle on the nose. On the palate, sweet, flinty and great acidity.

  Pulled from a cold cellar. Youthful pale straw color. Nose of wet rocks, lemons, sea shells, stinky cheese, and some white flowers. Equally as good in the mouth - palate covering yet with still plenty of acid. Dried nectarines, barrel toast, tangy acidity and some hints of fig. Alive and still kicking - even after the bottle had been open an hour. More Chablis than Napa Chardonnay.
