Dado NV (Vinho de Mesa, Portugal) - A blend of Dão and Douro, made by Álvaro de Castro and Dirk Niepoort, and the second bottling: aka 2001 Ferreira 2001 Qta. d. Leda (Douro) - the modern Barca Velha? Perhaps not, but a stunning wine nonetheless - a superb Douro red.

2001 Whitehall Lane Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve - USA, California, Napa Valley (2/24/2006) Splash decanted. Had the boss over for a drink after work. We killed about half the bottle. Will have to re-taste tomorrow when my palate and brain are back on course. But, this was a pretty good bottle with air time. I'd say it even Very, very Good.
I finished the other half of the bottle and don't remember a thing so did not complete the note. You can definitey drink it now with decanting or wait down the line.
