Physically Distanced 🚧 but Socially Close 🤗 dinner, our first in +8mo. Following the reasonable NY State dining regulations, seated and masked. While a new experience, it was well worth it to see our core group again.

Still could use a little time. Good length, and was more expressive after 2 hours in the decanter.

Awesome! Great year, great wine! Hoisin sauce, red plums, and menthol. Should have a long life ahead

Floral nose, dark cherry, earth. Plenty of structure left.

Smells of toast and bread rolls. Smooth mouth feel, silky fine tannins and sour cherry. But I think the toasty grains come through too much. Overly heated staves in the barriques? Still pretty good, though. Might not have really noticed if I hadn’t tasted three wines from the same producer, appellation and vintage next to each other.
