Wednesday, November 21, 2007 - A decadent 30th birthday for Justin Wells (Sammamish, WA): Tasted from 375ml. Offered up double-blind I correctly guessed Bordeaux thinking that maybe this was the 1989 Lynch Bages or a great Montrose. Not a terrible guess. Without glasses handy we might have sampled a few furtive sips straight from the decanter, on right on pop and pour this wine was at peak, just pure syrup of Pauillac. The color is black as night. A wine of sickening (in a good way) intensity. Loaded with those Mouton minerals. But after this brief flash of glory, this clamped down HARD and fell sound asleep. With a lot of swirling you could get that black, Pauillac tobacco, but the palate locked up tight. Let 'em sleep or decant the holy living heck out of these.
