Some Wine Tasted at the Zachys Auction; 10/27/2017-10/28/2017 (Charlie Palmer Steak - Washington, DC) : This wine just keeps getting better with more cellar time. The new oak is finally integrated and complementing the sweet black fruit and sweet spice. Meaty and rich. Good+ weight and length. Good balance, but I expect even greater balance in another year or three.

Casual Burg Dinner with Friends (The Bristol - Chicago IL) : Lots of fruit and spice that I enjoyed more than ever before from this great wine from this vintage. But I didn't find the right balance here. A bit too much new oak, slightly too ripe, slightly devoid of structure.

Aroma av røde bær, plomme, roser og litt svisker. Smaken er noe mer gjerrig, men følger i samme bane. Middels fylde og lengde. Kunne ønske meg litt mer fylde og trøkk, men dette er vel typisk for årgangen. Fungerte godt sammen med entrcote av kalv. Kjøper gjerne mer i en annen årgang..

Drink 2 times within 1 month because it's very good at the moment. Great smell of terroir along with perfume. Mild wooden scent lies underneath which reminds me of 1993 Romanee-Conti but better performance. Very delicious with a very good finished. If anyone has this gem in the cellar, Don't miss its prime time. Drink now - 2028.........93-94/100...........

Bobby Kacher Tasting and Dinner (Knightsbridge - Northbrook IL) : Lean fruit with fair amount of oak spice on nose. Fruit comes through nicely on palate, quite accessible but more oak, tannin and acidity than I would prefer for a 2007. A bit harsh near finish.

Confrerie Burgundy Trip – Day 2 (Gevrey-Chambertin/Morey-Saint-Denis) : Aromatic cherried nose. Chewy tannins, high acidity and sour cherries on the palate which is a touch unripe. Green finish with medium length.

Bobby Kacher Dinner (Chicago, IL) : Dense and surprisingly red-fruited. Hard, raw structure, and some oak. Full, deep fruit. Lots of character. Very nice.

Bobby Kacher Dinner at Knightsbridge (Knightsbridge - Northbrook IL) : Red and black fruit on nose and palate. Some clear rough edges in middle and end.
