Birthday year wine for me! Might not be the best Tig vintage, but nothing to scoff at. The ‘88 is getting to be almost last prime, this time bottle showing well. Rusty red with strong aromas of cigar box, leather, and pencil shavings. Drinks slightly thin, and im not getting much fruit. Still, it’s tasty and a special vintage to me. — 2 months ago
71st birthday wine from daughter Georgie’s birth year. Cedar aromas like an antique shop. Maraschino cherries Georgie said with touches of marzipan, and anise Dusty plum and cassis. Soft resolved tannins. A gorgeous First growth claret from a great vintage in 1989. Enjoyed this more than the previous tasting early last year. Really enjoyable. — 5 months ago
Opened for my 70th birthday in Philadelphia with wife’s family. Pasta, roast beef, lots of fixin’s and birthday cake. Worth the splurge. — 5 months ago

Mom’s 75th birthday! Juicy ripe cherries and plums, with notes of soil, truffles, black tea and mushrooms. Crowd pleaser that worked beautifully with all preps of steaks. — 9 months ago
