  BYOB dinner NOTK (Supernova hotel, Rotterdam): I was concerned with the below shoulder level fill, but this showed remarkably well. Birthyear wine makes it always a bit more special. Classic aged BDX profile with green bell pepper, tobacco, ceder, some fruit, minerality. Medium+ acidity, medium tannins, medium+ finish

  I was bit concerned about the upper shoulder fill but upon opening, I could tell there would be no issues with the condition or storage of this wine. Slow-oxed for 6 hours before drinking, this is what I would consider "textbook" Pauillac, even though it is my first experience with Mouton. A stunning wine that showed no signs of fading over several hours, with abundant cassis, pencil lead, tobacco leaf and black cherry flavors. Classy and smooth, toeing the line between power and finesse.

  黑醋栗、李子和蔓越莓的果味交织，明显的烟丝、雪松和咖啡香气，还有蓝纹奶酪、菌菇和一点点青椒气息。单宁细腻，酸度活泼，拥有纤瘦的体态，和优雅、富有层次的香气表达。开始走下巅峰，但依旧保持着硬朗的风骨和令人回味的成熟气质。
