Notes are cumbersome, so no notes today but plus side, scores are honest and I should be a professional reviewer, LOL. (Good, but not 2019 good, detailed notes on future bottles...)
On the Lawn at Tanglewood this final afternoon with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Our guest conductor Michael Tilson Thomas is leading IVES (Psalm 90) and BEETHOVEN (Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Opus 125).
After a two-year pause, we arrive again to the day when Beethoven concludes on these hallowed grounds. The 9th by Beethoven is always bittersweet for us, as it marks the end of the official Symphony and Pops season for the BSO at their Summer home. It is a wonderful and singularly emotive piece moved with the full force of the Tanglewood Festival Chorus (110+) conveying the message of a divine spark of joy that makes all people one. The music and the day almost bring me to tears on an annual basis...

Six year old Carignan is fascinating! Great fruit that has more leather, dried rose, golden raisins, plums, and dried strawberry. Very complex with excellent acidity and still some tannin. Tasting great at 6 years! — 4 months ago
Tasting great with some age. Cedar, tobacco, green pepper, plums, chocolate covered tart cherries. More on the herbal/veggie side of Bordeaux blend. I really like this. Probably even better in a few more years. — 2 years ago
