Epic Bordeaux for an Epic Birthday!; 9/1/2021-9/12/2021 (Paris & Bordeaux): Probably one of the best birth year wines I've had and I wouldn't have expected that since 81 is not the easiest year and few ppl suggest burgundy as a place to get wine from. Still, this is that lightness and precision that the best burgundys have. Drinking very well.

Drunk at Castellana Hong Kong - Richebourg tasting - Mature but with acid still present. A very pleasant bottle of wine indeed albeit no longer showing much DRC typicity.

A private DRC tasting (Waver, Ouder-Amstel, NL): Recently acquired, storage conditions unknown but probably mediocre at best. Bottle No. 004087 / 9.120. Level approximately 4 cm below the cork. Similar level as the previous bottle but fresher, lively and mineral, really crisp and still together, has line and length, remarkable.

Sweet spices, mineral freshness, loses its expression quickly, but retains its structural integrity, quite peppery, lively and with good length.

Halvpen moden nese. Tørket frukt, nype,krydder, te og gammelt trevirke. Slank vin med (såvidt) medium konsentrasjon og fin friskhet. Moden. Hadde ønsket litt mer fruktsødme her. Brukbar lengde med tørre tanniner. En god vin, men litt urettferdig å havne etter La Tache. Drikk nå.

On the lighter end, but clean and floral. (7347/9420)
