Sunday, July 1, 2018 - Got a hold of a good bottle.
It's so key to stand these old bottles upright for days before to let the sediment settle to the bottom. So often I read people saying the wine is murky and just know they pulled it sideways from their cellar and just poured everyone a glassful of sediment.
This exhibited a lot of the vegetal pyrazine notes you commonly get in good old Bordeaux. a real joy on the nose. The palate is clean and similarly vegetal with tobacco and saddle elements. The finish was long and this was just a pleasure to get lost in.
