Yattarna, Dugat, and more
Dinner at TIRPSE.
2003 Penfolds Yattarna - sweet and caramelized nose, but there's still acidity on the palate that was kinda ripe, with additional Chinese licorice notes. Definitely over the hill.
2002 Claude Dugat Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux St. Jacques - decanted for 1 hour. The nose was kinda strange. A little plummy with a hint of smoke. Kinda disappointing.
Drinks at a friend's home.
1999 Gaja Sorì San Lorenzo - opened more than 3 hours prior to serving. Smoky, burnt rubber. Still tannic but acidity is there. A bit minty and eucalyptus with some woodsy notes and a little black pepper.
2003 Quilceda Creek, from magnum - opened about 30 hours earlier and quadruple-decanted. Nose of dried herbs and a little Chinese medicine. Kinda jammy.
