Epic Bordeaux for an Epic Birthday!; 9/1/2021-9/12/2021 (Paris & Bordeaux): Opened and the cork was in poor form so had to do a decant and thus served early in the evening. This was one of those wines that kept feinting. At first seemed totally fine and like it would have an upward trajectory and surprise you with how good it could be (maybe in the first 5-10 mins) and eventually started a strong nosedive (around min 20) which made it essentially undrinkable within the hour. Never quite got to a ‘happy’ place, but it is interesting to drink so much history. After all this wine was in bottle before WWI even started. All tertiary and maybe even whatever the fourth level down would be. But interesting.
