Saturday, January 13, 2018 - Graham/Barton tasting-cum-lunch (Restaurant Bak, Amsterdam, NL): Still a firm tannic structure, restrained style, medium weight, dark pitch, good spicy depth, solid but not very expressive.

Decanting (and in my case also drinking over a period of three days) helped the wine to open up, but it also resulted in the wine feeling a little thin from day two. A let down and not up to the usual LB standards to me. Generalizing, the 1995 Bordeaux are tricky. As for the LB, I'd always pay the 10% markup for the 2000 and skip the 1995...
