Wednesday, October 12, 2022 - EL Birthday Dinner (The Garden Table at Le Pavillon): At first, I thought this was just past its prime. A fine wine where all the good bits have faded leaving a simple wine behind. Evan mentioned this vintage is maybe a little Sauterne-like? I could see it; it has some botrytis to it so maybe that is what took over? Z said the advice she received was to let it open in the glass. That was good advice. The wine expanded a lot over a couple of hours and show greater dimensionality. I think its best years have past, but it showed quality.
