  Served double blind to friends and as often happens with mature Cristom, the group was torn on new world vs. old world. A burgundian wine, to be sure. Pretty stem and spice filled aromas with fruit that has a bit of new world sweetness but so much balance and elegance. In a peak window with no further cellaring upside.

  Double Blind Virtual tasting (Chicagoland IL): Double blind, rich and floral with very good spice and depth. Good weight. Very charming red cherry and berry start-to-finish.

  The wine was absolutely at its peak despite the fact it was supposed to have been over the hill a year or two ago. The wine was still a deep ruby color though the wine had thrown off considerable sediment. Raspberry? Clove? Not exactly, but I was too astonished by how wonderful this wine was drinking. I have one last bottle in the cellar, but it now has a high bar to reach.

  From 375. Dark berry fruit has nicely integrated over time. Cassis on the nose, wet earth. Nice secondary flavours in the mouth; mushroom, tobacco, cola. This still has surpringly firm structure.

  I could see some brick red showing around the edge of my glass and there were some initial off notes, but it wasn't quite over the hill. I had it with a steak and loaded baked potato, and the fats really helped what was left of the fruit shine through. Drink up if you still have some.
