Amazing Bordeaux To Mark A Special Birthday (Noizé, London): There is some speculation around the table that this might be slightly corked. After some time resting in the glass this is a wine that is correct but has that greenness and cool fruitedness that is not dissimilar. Although in the shadow of its flight mates, this is still a charming claret. There is a summer greenhouse pungency to the nose with some pineapple stalk exoticism.

Gang of 4 in Covid19 times; Bordeaux; Margaux (@ RW): Beautiful and mature, rustic bouquet with oak, cedar and cigar box. On the palate elegant red and dark berry fruit, chocolate, oak, juicy acidity and round, mild tannin. Fully mature now. Don’t wait too long anymore.

Everything I love about D'issan. Light, subtle, layered. At first I didn't see the beauty in this vintage, but it showed later on. Especially letting it warm up just a tad, closer to room temp. It's not quite as good as the 2000 but a very good approximation.

Double decanted to remove the cork that disintegrated. Better after a couple of hours, but pretty open from the beginning.
Fantastic nose full of ripe dark fruit, sweet tobacco, aged leather, slight note of barnyard that went away after the first hour.
Palate showed similar notes, good complexity, well integrated tannins. Very pleasurable drink.
