  Excellent showing of the Pape clement tonight. No shortage of ash, smoke and voluminous red and black fruits. It has the strength and power of the 90, builds up to long long finish

  Same bottle as Melvin. Perfect expressions of Graves, still drinking young. The first bottle I opened had a higher degree of elegance this one was missing but great showing nonetheless.

  Boxing day at Caroline's: Easy guess as 1990 for the vintage, more learned Bordeaux drinkers managed to nail this as a Graves. Most vibrant out of the Bordeaux blends tonight, fresh strawberry and cherry fruit. Similar to my previous experience, this exhibited a lovely finesse. Best of the rest today.

  Needs some air (somebody wrote here, that EVERY wine, even the old ones, needs 4 hours of air), this one was exactly in its sweet spot after a double decant and 4 hours "shoulder free" in the bottle. Then it was singing! (At opening and even after 2 hours it was still a little shy) Beautiful tertiary notes on the nose, like a walk in the forest. Forest floor, wet wood and mushrooms. Berries in the background, but still there. The same on the palate. Fresh, but even with a bit of sweetness that puts some pressure on the palate. Very classical. Very long. Glad to have 2 more...
