A Special 40th Anniversary Celebration (Restaurant Daniel, New York City): Unsurprisingly tight at this early age, seemingly brimming with unreleased energy and power, trapped just beneath the surface. Mere hints of aromas on the nose for the first 90 minutes, and only slightly more generous thereafter: tropical fruit (we debated lychee vs. guava), some flint and a hint of smoke. A compact and concentrated palate, so precise, with a dense core of stone fruit wrapped within tremendous minerality, giving an impression of some extraction. Try to wait 5 years minimum on these.
