Jack & Arden put together a wonderful evening of delicious food and great wines, and a few of us attendees contributed some bottles to enjoy as well. Great night!
Great bottle from Jay. Drinking really well right now. Herbal and potpourri aromatics. Currant, fig, cranberry and black tea on the palate.

Phenomenal cerise and mauve color. Bright nose at opening with lots of floral and violet notes. Still some great structure and soft tannins; deep black cherries, but more raisin and black currant characters after 30 minutes. Well balanced and great finish.

Ah finally, a true modernist in this line-up! The 00’ Rennina poured out bricked. No longer primary on the nose, it was all leathery and dusty, with distinct oak vanilla, camphor, and underlying cooked fruits. Sour cherries, earth, and mushrooms on a rather soft palate, and a surprisingly short finish. I’m not sure I would call it over the hill, although it is quite plausible given the vintage, as it is more likely to be a case of imperfect ageing in our region. For me, this was more an intellectual than a sensual pleasure.

This had been opened all day and was holding strong well; with aromas of dark cherry, dried plum, fig, orange rind, nutmeg, anise, sweet tobacco and warm earth. Structured with good depth, enveloping the 15% well, drink now or hold on for a few more and eat with wild boar ragu

Цвет рубиново-гранатовый. Вишня, оливки, гвоздика, мускатный орех. Элегантный, но не слишком экспрессивный, без яркого развития. Вкус округлый, вишня, гвоздика. Женственный образец, элегантный.
