Final wine for 2017, appropriately so because it was good. Pop and pour. Huge wine, purple black color, rich fruit, grilled meats on the nose, thick viscous blackberries, currants, ink and dried blood. Would score higher but this needs another more time maybe 5-10 years.

2006 Lorraine. Incredible aromatics, but the palate is surprisingly closed. Still has terrific balance and a great, seamless finish. Suspect this needs a couple of more years in the cellar (impressive for a wine that's already >8 years old), but you could drink it now with a couple hours of decanting. Excellent now...but will be great.
