Second wine on the night, coming through strong towards the end. Funky nose - barnyard and maybe a hint of cork. Palate was soft and rounded. Was also my second wine.

Some fruit on the nose when decanted but then developed vegetal notes with green pepper coming through to the palate. Colour was still pretty deep crimson - had a clear edge though but no bricking or orange hints. Highlight was most definitely the palate, beautiful soft meaty notes and soft (milk) tea. One to drink soon, not going to get any better and maybe already little long in the tooth. Lovely nonetheless.

1982 (A vintage dream); 4/21/2022-4/23/2022 (Hotel Jean Jacques Rousseau, La Neuveville, lake Biel, Restaurant des Bains, Avenches, Switzerland): Not as well structured as the Sociando for me, red berry, some leather and tobacco, smoky finish

So sad - we lost two old Bordeaux during this tasting weekend.
