1988 Joseph Phelps Insignia

Allowed to breathe in glass 1 hour. Clear deep garnet-blood red color with bricking at the rim. Lovely notes of red berries, red plums and their liqueurs; cigar humidor, green tobacco, sage, earthy mushrooms, with hints of tidal mud flats, meat juice. Mostly tertiary at this point. Like a traditional old claret.

Decanted 1 hour. Clear deep garnet-blood red color. Gorgeous bouquet of fresh red currants, raspberries and their liqueurs; roses, violets, cedar shavings, pipe tobacco, cigar humidor, stony soil. Similar on the palate, medium-full body, satin mouthfeel, seamless, polished, beautifully balanced. Improved with air over several hours. Splendid pairing with Easter dinner of roast leg of lamb.

NV Ruinart Champagne Blanc de Blancs Brut

Clear straw yellow color with scant ultra-fine bubbles. Notes of quince, lemon, almond biscuit, chalk, apple blossom. Delicate, pure and delicious. Needed an hour to fully bloom in the glass, by which time the bubbles were mostly gone.
