Nice notes, Dale. It sounds like a fun tasting. I hear you about the Angelus: it's certainly not traditional, but there's a lot to like about it. My experience with the '89 and '90 is that they showed a distinctive roasted, coffee note, but that may be a function of those two hot vintages. It's certainly a powerhouse of a wine, though.

I don't remember having the '89, but have gotten the coffee in the 90, which I quite liked. It's also apparent in the '95.
With way more bottles than people (and Jen not drinking much), we had lots of leftovers. We left some for waitstaff, but I carried the 1/3 bottle of Corbin home. Last night I liked much better than at offline
- plush red fruit, tannins less apparent, a bit of graphite, an almost Pomerol-ish lushness. Very nice for an inexpensive St Emilion.
