Tooch Going Away Dinner (TDS): The nose is young, primary and forward with lots of black cherry. Polished with excellent grand cru concentration and richness. Perhaps a little too plush and smooth, with little more than glossy fruit at this stage. Needs time to evolve and hopefully show more Gevrey character.

A farewell to Tooch (Chicago, IL): There's actually a lot to like about this wine. The nose shows a bit of polish and oak, but underneath is some fairly crystalline red fruit, as is typical for the vintage. The palate initially has some vibrant ripe red fruit elements, as well as a mild hit of brown spice, but then you get to the finish, which seems to be marred by oak, leaving a mild bitter astringency.

Medium garnet. Lovely nose of earthy and spicy scents, good complexity. The palate lacks balance unfortunately, it is too acidic for the amount of fruit it carries. Aromas 94, Palate 89.

very pretty nose, not 100% delivering on that promise. But still good. Elegant.
