Pronounced nose intensity with herbal, tea, forest, spices, toast, sandal wood. Medium- acidity and medium- tannin. Surprised that it’s still drinking and not vinegar yet.

Easter Dinner with Great Wine (New York, NY): Double blind in Pauillac flight. Could this really be 1945? Vibrant black currant and cassis with cigarbox and leather hints with good density. Could this really be 1945? The label says it is. 93 points.

Opened for Cubs first WS game since 1945. Sadly, like the Cubs it disappointed. Stewy rich extracted red fruits overwhelmed by stinky garbage smell. Virtually undrinkable.

Still quite dark in color. Nose shows slight hints of leather and still some berry notes. Tannins are dry but the structure is still good. Overall the wine still feels present and offers a nice experience to drink. At its peak but no hurry to drink

Magnum. Still great garnet color. But pretty sharp on palate and fruit starting to fade. Gruaud easily won out over this side by side.
