Monday, May 23, 2016 - Dinner hosted by MTWG (Mark the Wine Guy) with special guest Noe Tesseron (Vic's Restaurant - New York City): During the night we tasted the 78, 00, 04,05...this was Matt's contribution. PnP, no decant drank over about an hour. Well preserved bottle bought at auction. It was great to have Noe Tesseron, son of the famous proprietor, join us for dinner.

Light ruby color, browning at the edges. Classic Bdx nose of dried red fruits, prune, earth. Palate is thin, showing red fruits, savory notes, tobacco, mushrooms.

Improved in the glass over an hour, starting to fade a bit towards the end. Wine is clearly in a tertiary phase, past its peak but still nice to drink. An old school claret...
