  Bottle stood up for a month. Fine sediment at bottom of the bottle.
  
  Nose is a little reticient. Medium/light weighted with silky texture. Medium+ concentration of pure dark fruit (black raspberry, savory cherry), sous bouise. Expansive in the mouth with a long finish Puts a smile on my face.
  
  With more air a bit of cherry woodspice burn on the finish. With more air (or wine?) this smoothed out mostly, but the woodspices are still there. The last glass with sediment run through a coffee filter tastes harsher than the rest of the bottle.
  
  93-94

  Les Suchots tasting (The Wolf): Really nice. Developing, exciting, fresh, spicy. This kind of has it all for an adolescent Suchots. Doesn't show the density or tannins I might expect in this vintage. Toasted coffee bean / cacao notes as it warms. My 1/8

  nose - coffee, Asian spice, smoky, dark plum
  mouth - seductive, rich, and sappy, expansive on the palate. complex red and dark fruits with great verve, balance, and finish. This wine can easily last 10 more years. Tonight it was singing.

  Farewell Filippo, Il Duomo table (La Trompette, London): Served a little warmer than it should be, and started off a little mute on the nose. Just gorgeous though. Beautifully rich and rounded on the attack. Silky-textured weight. Real luxe. Just lovely. Evaporated far too quickly. *****
