Note: I use the recommended scale on which 85 represents a very good wine.
Similar to three years ago, found another bottle in the cellar. Turned out to be quite nice for what I assume is sort of an entry level Bdx. Excellent entry level Bdx. Took abut 30-45 min to open up, but wll-balanced, Easy to drink. I have no idea where it came from, and I am usually very meticulous abut such things. Oh well.

2012 Jez Festive Drinks - opened for 90 mins but not decanted. Very subdued fruit which was a little surprising for an 05. Drying tannins with good acidity. A food wine more so than on its own. For the price, a decent midweek wine with dinner
