Monday, April 13, 2020 - This is really my last bottle...

Stood upright for 10 days. Served with 2 hour decant at 64-65F

Lovely texture, very little brown in this bottle, tannins nearly fully resolved, the berries and pencil lead very harmonious

Second Pauillac in two meals, (first doubleheader in nearly 20 years), this was more enjoyable and balanced with lamb than its younger, more highly rated compatriot, being notably less intense, but less of a match for triple-creme brie
