Friday, July 21, 2017 - A Charmed Life: night of aged Cristal, Grange, and D'Yquem (Marea): We prob opened this one a bit later than we should have. Cork was popped around 6 pm and Granges were served maybe 30 minutes later. As a result, this had one of the bigger arcs of the wines at the table I thought. Most believed it was the outlier of the group - the wine most likely to be mistaken for an aged Bordeaux. Certainly there was a great deal of leather which I do associate with the Bordeaux, but it also had this sweet, almost candied red fruit character to it. Full-bodied. And open for business. We'd tried one of these a few years ago and it was a bit shaky on it's feet originally, peaked quickly, and fell off a cliff. Not this one which four hours in was still quite lovely. Very much enjoyed.
