  February 3, 2019 - 2nd Annual Sommelier Appreciation Dinner (Undisclosed Location): Mouton vs. Lafite flight pits the legendary '86 Mouton against the less-legendary '90 Lafite... but the Lafite was the winner on my scorecard. The aromas here were sweet, with some figginess surfacing with air, but still holding things close to the vest. The palate is still very, very tannic, the tannin practically reverberating into more tannin, but it does show some nuttiness and dark fruit with that sur-maturite on the nose manifesting in some pruniness on the back end. I let this sit to see what develops and it did start to show some more classic Pauillac pencil scents, albeit faintly, but didn't budge much.
