Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend

Capitol Region Wine Collectors Club (WCC), Bordeaux; 30 March 2023 at Yono's, Albany, NY

Floral perfume, earth, Apple, dried blackberry, chocolate covered cherry, raspberry, baking spices, nice backbone of tannins and acidity.

For an off vintage this aged gracefully and was impressive

My expectations were low and unfortunately they were met. Sherry like nose and a bitter palate. Cork intact but totally soaked thru.

Wow. Just wow.

Mouton Rothschild 1981

An unexpected treat! A little past its ideal drinking window but interesting pencil shaving notes.

Weekend with Friends and average wines…😎 what a overachiever today!

Sat what you want, some of the depth was gone, but I thought it was exceptional.

Also picked up in auction. Wow. This is really great. The cork was like a musty old basement but no not the wine. Great nose. . Also at Oak Grill. Second pour getting metallic. Drink up.
