  March 25, 2024 - 2004 Bordeaux at Blacklock, City, with NLWTS (Blacklock, City): Acidity pretty prominent. Medium bodied (much lighter bodied than the ‘04 Montrose tasted alongside). Still a ways off ‘full’ maturity on the palate, but it doesn’t feel like it has much stuffing left in the tank in terms of structure; what tannins are present dissipate pretty quickly. This is good, albeit I had higher hopes! Just not hitting the heights I had hoped for.

  March 25, 2024 - Bordeaux 2004 20 years on Part 1 (Blacklock City): Tight. Tighter than the Montrose, as least to my palate. Marked note of herbs, mint tea, not exactly fruit-laden. This is as straight-laced as they come, not gruff or grumpy, just very linear and strict. It gains some sweetness, some red fruit peeking out with time, whereas the Montrose remained dark the whole way through. An overwhelming feeling of restrained elegance, of having been made to be reserved and distant. And fully fulfilling that objective!

  March 25, 2024 - Jonathan's 2004 horizontal (Blacklock City): A classic Left Bank nose, with some hints of spice to add interest. Despite having been double-decanted the morning before the dinner, still pretty tannic and lacking in mid-palate amplitude, although time in the glass did emphasise the sweet-fruited side of the wine. Grippy dark fruits and some graphite. Really benefited from being drunk with food.

  March 24, 2024 - 2004 Bordeaux at 20 years courtesy of Mark Taylor; 3/23/2024-3/24/2024 (Atlanta, GA): Mmm, lead pencil, green, LEAFY, wonderful, wonderful vegetal aspect if you like that. Personally I just love the herbal character, very reminiscent of a recent 2000 Figeac, spicy, leafy, tobacco, nice red fruit, tart. Almost like a rich Chinon. My #5 and the group #6. Correctly guessed as Calon-Ségur.
