I think I got this from Lyle Fass before the deluge, $20/750ml. Hand-picked, no filtration according to the bottle, a negociant wine from this house. 12.5% abv.

From Coravin into a Riedel Bordeaux stem. A lighter-colored red rose-hued Burgundy, translucent right through the broadest part of the glass. Smoked bacon fat, herbs, a little warm attar of rose and cola, and a soupçon of truffle, It's touched with sweet vanilla in the nose, too. Delicate and liquid texture, with dense midpalate, again showing sweet herbs, an Italianate twist of bitter cherry pit on the moderate to long juicy, mouthwatering finish. Hitting well above its average. Drink now-2022. 91 Pp/100.

Offered to Stephanie S., Jackie's daughter, with grass-fed beef and, mashed new potatoes and, somehow, vegan demi-glace sauce made from miso, during her first visit chez Speicher-Trombley in Piqua starting today.
