  A Holiday Evening w/Friends (Jacksonville): A clear contender for WOTN. This had been opened and decanted several hours beforehand. Amazing to see how dark the wine was when poured. Clearly still very youthful. CT window is not right (mine says goes till 2008). This has a long and fruitful life ahead of it. It's again more elegant in style. The acid still there. Lighter bodied. But very bright. Cherry and maybe some rose hips and drinking just very nicely. It's a special wine.

  Deep and youthful; needs time; tannic and raisin-licorice.

  Incredible purity of red fruit and floral notes. Wine in its prime! Unfortunately drank over a 02 Romanee Conti, 02 Roumier Les Amoureuses and 06 Masseto on the same night. On the other side, it didn't stand any shorter than those bottles should say something about this wine!

  This bottle was good though not quite what I was hoping for. The nose was enjoyable with red berry fruits, truffle and forest floor, anise and mint, some dried floral notes. The palate was good, but seemed a bit tight and the tannins were still dominating a bit. Definitely was improving with air so maybe would have benefited from a decant. Would love to try again if I can find some.
