Kikuhime Aged Daiginjo (菊姫 大吟醸 熟成酒), 8BY - this has aged for more than 22 years prior to release, so it wasn't surprising that the palate delivered lots of oxidized and savory flavors. Very viscous and rounded on the palate. So delicious!

Kikuhime and 2001 Napa
Dinner at a friend's house.

2001 Karl Lawrence Reserve Gary Morisoli Vineyard - served about 1 hour after opening. Very minty with animal notes. After 1 hour 45 minutes still concentrated, but nose and opened up and became more woodsy and fragrant.
2001 Fisher Cabernet Sauvignon Wedding Vineyard - served 1 hour and 15 minutes after opening. Very fragrant nose with lots of very ripe fruit along with smoky notes. Medium- to full-bodied. Drinking beautifully now.
