1996 Château Angélus

18 months since my last bottle. Slow ox'ed for about 1h at home then poured into decanter at restaurant. This is still showing good concentration of rich and round dark fruit but at the same time also plenty of leather and tobacco. Will stay at this level for many months but doubt it will improve. Classic Right Bank Bdx and consistent 93 points.

2021 Lismore Chardonnay Estate Reserve

Off restaurant list. Drank two glasses and then moved to the 96 Angelus we took to the restaurant so finished this the next week. As others mentioned this has a surprisingly developed light golden color. Upon opening this was fairly rich, round and sweet. Not overly oily but still very much in a New Worls Chardonnay style. Oak well managed and very pleasant to drink.
On day 2 surprisingly the sweetness has disappeared, this is much more defined by acidity which results in a clearer delineation. Chalk. I liked this and opened out of curiosity the 2017 to compare. The 2017 is in my eyes a touch better in terms of balance but also freshness.

2008 Henri Bonneau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Réserve des Célestins

Again quite rich but not very structure or aromatic. Settled on aged New World Pinot.
