update - '04 Chave St. J

Jul 30, 2009 0 Replies

This bottle, which we opened for Jean's birthday on Sunday, has been sitting recorked in the fridge since, half-full. Tuesday night I revisited the wine to find it richer, with lots of green olive character, still with some bright red fruit and a low-level amount of meaty funk.



Still more remains, so expect further updates. Meanwhile, hang on to those bottles for another 4-5 years, I'd say.
