Wine Dinner Extravaganza (Capella Hotel Dining Room - Washington DC): Decanted hour+ before serving. Ripe and slightly jammy aromas. Same ripe black fruit flavors, but with a firm character that comes across as slightly tight at present. Not lots of complexity coming through right now, but this has good concentration and structure, so will age gracefully and probably pick up nuance. Hold to 2025 or later.

Annual Chicago winos visit - Dugat Py Chambertins, DRC RSVs, SQN and etc. (The Grill Room at Capella Hotel Georgetown): Still quite dark and opaque. Youthful nose displaying black fruits, blackberry, dark spices, root beer and earth. Excellent concentration, cool sweet black fruit driven palate impression, good acidity, noticeable tannins but not bothersome and long earthy black fruit and dark spice driven finish. The overall impression is quite youthful and masculine. This still needs another ten years.

Meaty nose with cinnamon and baking spices. Light palate with marked tannins and some nice cherries. Tight but promising.
