Friday, June 7, 2013 - Bill's Monthly Lunch - June 2013 (Vancouver, BC): Tasted blind – This was served alongside my wine (’96 Lynch Bages) so even though it seemed obviously Bordeaux to me, I may have been influenced by my knowledge as others didn’t peg this as Bordeaux right away. Nose of riper Bordeaux fruit with coffee and graphite notes. A touch warm on the palate with fairly resolved tannins. This seemed much riper than the ’96 LB and perhaps would have shown better had it been served on its own. Drink now and for another five years. Very good.
