Happy Thanksgiving (belated, anyway...)

Hope everyone had a great day... For me, it was... 1996 Louis Latour Corton-Grancy - wow is this wine drinking well right now. The nose is rediculous. When young, these wines offer little charm... but as they age, watch out! The nose is so expressive and terroir-driven... nice. The 1988 Louis Latour Corton-Grancy was even more evolved and is completely mature... lovely clove and powerful earth notes. Nice length. The 1999 Arrowood "Saralee's Vineyard" Syrah was loosing fruit, but is so much more Cornas than California Syrah... all bacon fat and black olive. The 2002 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru "Duvault-Blanchot" is still a baby and was actually quite closed and not giving much. This needs quite a few more years before I'd touch it.
