Kudos and many thanks to @Martin G Rivard for sharing this exceptional VHR!! 2 HR decant and paired with a homemade barbecue chicken pizza (really, this carries well!). Thanks to @Ryan Mitchell for purchasing the sweet potato soufflé and corn bread sides to complete the meal. Inky dark with hint of tobacco, smoke and red currents. Tannins already smoothing for a 2013, but this could sit and improve for years a la @David Trumper. Many thanks again @Martin G Rivard, look forward to returning the favor!! — 9 years ago

@Martin G Rivard much thanks for allowing @Daryl Calhoun and myself to enjoy a VHR bottle this afternoon. That's what it is all about - wine and friends. Your bottle filled weekend made made us want to break out quality stuff. (See next post) This will age nicely and @Bruce Phillips has something special here. 70 degrees in Chicago during October is rare, but so is VHR - thanks again #martinthegreat
