Red fruit, plum, graphite and lilac. Red fruit and licorice palate. Very firm tannins beg for a long decant or more bottle time. Excellent.

Cool blooded but rich on the palate. Quite inky and a bit subdued. Classy with a long life ahead

Super pure, needs about an hour to hit its stride. Balanced from start to finish. If you like a hint of fruit with fine tannins, this is your wine. Delish.

Got to take advantage of another Wednesday Wine Committee and boy was it worth it. Wow! Killer wines brought by Glenn for his 60th! As always, wines tasted blind. 1 sparkler, 3 whites, 4 reds, 1 dessert wine.

En mag. Possibly WOTD for me. I don't know if it was due to it being in a sweet spot or what, but this was firing on all cylinders. Room was split on Bordeaux or old Napa cab. A jamminess trait to it, but the finish had a great plum note that lingered. Some cocoa and blackberry pie, too. So good!

Decanted for 3+ hours and showing very approachable.
Perhaps it is getting time to check in more closely on those '05 Bordeaux's.

This wine is all class. A little tight right now but the leather and dark fruits meld perfectly in this highly structured wine. It will last forever.
