PnP, spaghetti and meatballs night. Medium body with clear liquidy and glycerol. Medium strawberry on the nose, with the pomegranate reduction braise so typical. On the palate, watery fruity notes, again strawberry. There's some deeper bruised fruit notes as well, and some evidence that this is a pinot. Solid.

Was waiting for a life changing event to open our first-ever bottle of KB purchased, but decided that Wednesday, Dec 1st was fine. Wine is starting to rust just a bit, but still full of fruit and complexity. Cherries come through, but so does a hint of licorice and many other harmonious elements. I wouldn't wait any longer to open if I had more. Lovely.

With Artichoke Calzone.... showing its age, baker’s chocolate, sage, Brazil nuts? very linear except fruit about gone... 2nd Hour-more integrated Brown Sugar, Cherry Pit, dusty light tannin think this will still go a little further in a couple of years. 3rd Hour-Going stronger and finish is strong. Upgrade score to 91. Day 5 from 187ml-with Duck Confit salad- fading but good compliment to food. Apricot, Pruned dark fruit with cherry and more Burgundian profile.

Winefool Going Away Party and Cellar Depletion (Jack's Bistro - Chicago IL): Tasted 2 days ago, note from memory. Getting tired but clearly still alive. Better than the 2006 Koplen, but not as good as the Sonoma Coast 2007.
