  A Diverse Set of Wines in Honor of a Visiting Friend (Los Olivos, CA): Mildly corked, such a shame as there was plenty of dark fruit and minerality underneath.

  黑莓、黑樱桃、枣泥、甘草、烟熏、咖啡和皮革，香气集中且持久。良好的酸度和细密的单宁形成了良好的平衡，让香气可以在口中不紧不慢地绽放。经历了光阴沉淀，发展完整的同时依旧很有活力，状态正佳。

  This is a favorite producer of mine and I was interesting to see how it would stand up in a line-up of many Bordeaux folks favorites. It is a nice showing of the cab franc so maybe a hint more spicy to the style. A touch of plush. Drinks nicely. One of my favorites of the evening.

  Just a classic Bordeaux. No formal note but a step above almost all 1988 Bordeaux’s that I have tried. This was quite lush and still plenty of fruit. Lots of life left. From JY

  Lost of tertiary character here. Smokey cedar, leather, pipe tobacco and a hunt of dried cherry.
  It’s fully integrated on the palate with moderate acid, dusty tannin, and medium body.
  Time to drink up
