Thursday, February 2, 2017 - Fit for a wine loving Groundhog: Bordeaux back to 1970, by way of a 1982 trio (Ripple Restaurant in Washington D.C.): Tasted side-by-side with the Lynch Bages of the same vintage, this at first had a faded flower aspect, with dusty tannins - just like Lynch Bages. At first, I preferred the superior grip of the Lynch Bages, but with time in glass (the bottle was popped and poured), a pleasing sense of sweet cocoa powder and more floral notes arose and made it more pleasing and quite enjoyable to drink, with a subtle finish.
