I dont know if it was just this exact bottle, or is this wine always that way, but I was shocked with how deep, balanced and beautiful overall it was. TO be honest - THE number one best wine I had in the last two years. Hand down. I dont even know enough words in english to describe the feeling I had (and still have). Try it!

Joel's Birthday Party (The Palace, Mission, SF): Deep purple black fruit, slight smoke, slight minerality, dense for a grands echezeaux; palate is medium-full bodied, black fruits, would have never guessed pinot noir; medium length finish. Difficult to assess as it is young and unclear where it will go. I would not have necessarily pegged it for a Burgundian pinot noir blind as it is so ripe and full bodied. 90
