Dinner at Softbank Kitchen.
2003 Françoise Bedel L'Âme de la Terre, dégorgée en Août 2012 - ripe nose with sugarcane notes. Good depth on the palate.
2016 Sonoma County Barrel Auction Gary Farrell Vineyards Pinot Noir Rochioli Vineyard - nice and fragrant nose, showing tea leaves and eucalyptus. Served a little too warm. Still very young.
2015 Premiere Napa Valley Gemstone Cabernet Sauvignon Winemaker's Special Selection - so very young. Minty and ripe.
1996 Bruno Paillard Nec Plus Ultra, dégorgée en Janvier 2009 - nice and ripe, with straw notes.
1991 von Schubert Maximin Grünhäuser Herrenberg Spätlese - nice minerality, almost a little muscat, a little petrol. Good sugar levels with acidity balance.
2000 Pierre Bourée Charmes-Chambertin - very lovely nose. A little floral.
2016 Premiere Napa Valley Dakota Shy Cabernet Sauvignon Next Chapter - very ripe. Very rich. Very jammy. Lots of forest and very minty. Still way too young, but more enjoyable than the Gemstone.
2001 Biondi-Santi Brunello di Montalcino Riserva - decanted for 2 hours prior to serving. Nose still kinda muted, with high acidity on the palate.
