  April 15, 2024 - Jonathan’s 2004 Bordeaux (Hawksmoor, Guildhall, London): 5/12, double decanted about 1 hour before consuming. Immediately open and appealing on the nose with rich, ripe blackcurrant fruit, spice, vanilla notes, touch of mocha. Medium/full bodied, rich and ripe with soft tannins, lashings of blackcurrant fruit, vanilla, fresh acids, good length slightly firm finish. Excellent though and still quite youthful.

  April 15, 2024 - Bordeaux 2004 20 years on Part 2 (Hawksmoor Guildhall): A little bit of high-toned polish on this one, it comes across as quite youthful. Just as the last bottle I tasted it March it's rich and round without ever straying from the brief, with sweet red fruit notes mixing with cool deep cassis. This latter tends to take over with time in glass, probably as it should. Nice wine in a good spot, I'd be pleased to have this in the cellar as it should go on for a while.

  April 15, 2024 - Jonathan's 2004 Bordeaux Check In (Hawksmoor Guildhall, London, UK): Initially a little high toned. Remains modern but develops interest; there is a beef pho savouriness / meatiness with some delightful hints of lemongrass. With air some hints of cranberry tartness / sweetness and some very agreeable smokiness. Decent; just not at quite the level of the other wines sampled alongside this.

  April 11, 2024 - It was OK but nothing stood out is amazing. Not sure if it’s going through a dumb phase or it’s just on the decline.

  March 25, 2024 - 2004 Bordeaux at Blacklock, City, with NLWTS (Blacklock, City): In a very good place; more developed than the ‘04 Leoville Barton drunk alongside - plenty of leather and forest floor; quite funky. All kept very strictly on the straight and narrow by some relatively prominent tannins and acidity that are quite prominent. Really vivacious; no hurry to drink up!
