Saturday, April 24, 2021 - A evening of 20+ year old Bordeaux (Wilmette Harbor Club, Wilmette IL): The nose is just gorgeous and deep with tones of dark red cherries, dark red fruits, wet clay, leather, licorice, spice notes, tobacco, kirsch liqueur, coffee, violets, earth notes. This is beautifully balanced and layered in the ways that only Bordeaux can do with age. The Medium/full bodied feel is plush and silky with medium acidity and silky, medium tannins. The structure has resolved and the feel is so balanced and poised right now. This is a real joy to drink and while it's clearly mature, there is still a long way to go.
