Still pretty young. Refined, graphite giving way to pipe tobacco and bitter chocolate but still waiting to come together. Mid-palate presence seemed jumbled.

Last week was a combo of 4th Friday and Open That Bottle Night on back to back nights. Needless to say, the lineup between both days was full of heavy hitters, so I’m only posting standout bottles.
No rating. I know ‘88 wasn’t a spectacular vintage, but I was shocked at how herbal and vegetal this was aromatically. I had the ‘89 Lafite two months ago and it was superb. I kept going back and forth wondering if this was corked. I still don’t know for sure, but I do know this seemed off. Although vegetal on the nose, the palate was fairly rich and full bodied. Soft baked fruits. It was a bit muted though with zero finish.
