Abbreviated notes from the morning after an amazing gathering of family and friends the day after my daughter’s wedding (which was MORE amazing than the wines!).
Brought to me by a dear friend months ago in anticipation of this event so it could rest in the cellar and be ready. Cork removal with the Durand took awhile but was successful. The peak of an evening of peaks in a weekend of peaks. Fully mature. Still some fruit, all sorts of tertiary complexity. Ridiculous. Made the year I was in 1st grade. Apotheosis of Port.
