Jim's Retirement Party (Libertyville, IL): From magnum. Sadly, also not as good as a fifth I had a few years ago. It certainly had the hallmarks of that older bottle, but the fruit wasn't as clean and bright; despite the large format, this showed its age a little more. Plummy and correct for the Right Bank, but again the fruit showed a smidgen more oxidized than I would consider ideal.

Loads of red cherries topped with cocoa, truffle and tobacco with a soft, elegant, fully-mature palate presence. Drink from 2023-2026.

Small glass from magnum. More tired than expected, just barely enough lingering fruit.
