Haven’t had in a couple years. Other bottle was turning. This is much much better than I remember. Lucious, rich, and full bodied. Full of blackberries, currant, some plum, with a touch of menthol. Quite hedonistic. Easily another 5 years.

KWN Wine 8. Most everyone else enjoyed, but I came away really disappointed. And it was one of mine. A lot of road tar, but not a lot of fruit. Seemed off balance. Looked up the tasting note; wondering if the wine started to turn or if I had a bad bottle. Have one more so we shall see.

Not terribly impressive. Too much acid. Too much tar. Not enough fruit. Hard to figure out what this is.

Nice. Way better than the bizarre Chave we sent back. Saved Merck a bunch of money here, which I'm sure is important. No idea how this restaurant earned two stars. Wait staff and sommelier seem very jumpy. Can't imagine why.

Delicious. As usual! Well integrated tannins. Plenty of life. Complex.
