Friday, April 21, 2023 - My 40th birthday at 67 Pall Mall (67 Pall Mall): I have to admit that this was rather jostled on its journey to 67PM and was a lesson to bring these in advance or double decant - apologies to my guests.

Despite that this initially gave me rich dark but sweet cherry, plum, tobacco, old furniture - wonderful depth to the nose.
Quite youthful on the palate - dark plum and cedar. Less floral than the Margaux but also a bit more structured and intense. As some of the sediment settles with time this becomes smoother and more elegant. Different but on par with Margaux this time.
