Lost Friday afternoon gathering – Jamet, Grange des Peres, Raveneau, Chave, Pignan and etc. (Eddie V's - Tysons Corner, VA): Served blind by me. The oldest guess is from the 90s. Medium gold, very youthful color for age. Expressive steely nose displaying subtle yet very ripe dry yellow fruit, peach juice, dry apricot, steel, saline, oyster jus, smoked meat and wet stone. Amy and Mark mentions strong ham and I agree. Amy guesses Jura Chardonnay which is an excellent guess. Excellent concentration, concentrated tertiary yellow fruit, mouth puckering acidity and steely mineral, and a long concentrated yellow fruit driven finish with smoke meat and steel at the end. The overall expression shows a good resemblance to the younger vintages but more complex which can be attributed to the proper cellaring. Really unique showing.

Lost Friday Lunch with friends (Eddie V's): Truly a unique wine to taste and one that I'll never be able to have again, especially stored this well. Crazy strong nose of lunch meat shavings, lemon jam, nice saline character, very good balance and length. Truly amazing flavor profile and unlike any I've had before in a wine.
