Birthday dinner for a '77 and '90 tonight. Celebrated at Addison and indulged in the chef's choice menu. I'm not sure how many courses we had--12, 13, 14??--but it was the single most foundation shaking culinary experience I've ever experienced. If you are ever in Del Mar do yourself a favor and dive in mouth and feet first! The Martha's was full of sumptuous fruit, dusty tannins and fun funk. None of the tell tale eucalyptus or menthol but a very fun treat.

Nice. A bit of TCA in the background.

Decant for sediment and pour. A majestic deep ruby red color with bricking. On the nose: Seductive notes of dark cherry, eucalyptus, cigar smoke, forest floor, new leather. Taste: creamy, elegant, savory medium body wine with a little brambly cherry/red plum, tobacco, earth, dark chocolate, spice, and just a hint of it's signature minty eucalyptus. YUM! Such a treat to drink tonight.

BYOB wine night with friends & various industry acquaintances celebrating the recent induction of a couple of them into the ranks of CMS Certified. . The CMS Advanced in the group brought this bottle. Cork was in relatively decent condition except for about 40% saturation. Took a long while to get this even remotely drinkable, and even down to the last sip it was still shrugging off its drowsy slumber. Really tough to rate because I was concerned it was corked at first, but over time some purity of fruit started to emerge along with the iconic mint / eucalyptus.

Still so young and fresh, hugely impressed with the longevity of this.
