Ski trip - Three wino familes; 2/14/2020-2/17/2020 (Wisp Resort): Perfectly mature nose displaying sweet red and black fruit, cherry liqueur, blackberry, caramel, black pepper, sweet spices, sous bois, cedar and earth. Beautifully integrated palate, finely layered sweet red fruit, silky and rich, medium acidity, good earthy mineral and a long sweet concentrated red fruit driven finish. Drinking beautifully, showing generous mature sweet fruit.

The last bottle showed so well that I decided to open another one. This time, I checked the grape composition. The color is consistent with the last bottle. Expressive nose displaying ripe jammy red and black fruit, cherry jam, blackberry, chocolate, pepper, caramel, pepper, a hint of sous bois and earth. Excellent concentration, deeply toned sweet black fruit, dense yet silky, good acidity, earthy mineral, and a long dense and decadent black fruit driven finish. There is a slight hint of Cabernet green. Drinking beautifully but will be fascinating to revisit in another ten years.

Lost Friday afternoon gathering – Jamet, Grange des Peres, Raveneau, Chave, Pignan and etc. (Eddie V's - Tysons Corner, VA): I mixed up the bottles and served blind thinking it was the 78 Burgundy. Amy and Mark comment that the color is incredible dark and opaque. Expressive nose displaying cherry cough syrup, cherry jam, cinnamon, pepper, a hint of sous bois and earth. Excellent concentration, packed dense jammy red fruit, unctuous yet silky, good acidity, strong earthy mineral and a long concentrated jammy black fruit driven finish with earth and cinnamon at the end. It gets sweeter and more complex with air. Pleasant surprise.

Lost Friday Lunch with friends (Eddie V's): Stored incredible well, super concentration still, dark red fruits with blackberry, top soil, white pepper, chalk, very nice and a treat to try at this age to see what this wine can do.
