October 30, 2006 - A trip to Bordeaux's Right Bank (Very long); 10/22/2006-10/30/2006 (Bordeaux, France): Had it with a Fois Gras and a cheese platter at Lavinia. Great Chenin Blanc, although a notch behind the 1997's great concentration. Apricots and beehive in the nose and a full bodied, unctuous body with very shar acidity.
