Wow. Complete, mature wine full of earth, barnyard, a slight hint of dark fruits. Full and retained a freshness with a well-balanced palate throughout and a long, integrated finish. Paired very well with 30-day dry aged Flannery NY Strips.
Wish I had more old Cabassaous...

Tempier Tasting (Tom's House, Palo Alto): Group's #8, my #6 (Yes, I thought other wines were worse than a corked wine.) Cheesy nose, reticent aromas, very short bitter finish. Flawed.

Exceptional mature Bandol. Drinking really nicely at this point. A beautiful wine. Menthol, Cassis, cola tint. WOW.
Drank from a magnum on New Years Eve with some close friends.

Fantastic. Cork seemed as if it had been up in the bottle yesterday. Still strong. Nice fruit and rounded tannins. Very nice.
