This was one of (NW’s) contributions to the tasting and was obviously an aged wine on the pour with an amber rim and cherry red core. The bouquet was rare with cedar and dark cassis with something sweet, and elegant that eludes description. It reminded me of a Madeira.

In the mouth though the wine was lifeless and yet it had a back bone that showed vestiges of complexity but was shallow and somewhat tannic. There was little fruit present and finished with charcoal flavors. I wrote–”Blah!”

Now–when I bought the Lynch Bages, it was under less than ideal storage conditions and I was skeptical of whether it would hold up as a aftermath. I thought that was the Lynch Bages. I would find out how wrong I was. that was the Nuit St. Georges (NW) brought, from Domaine Alain Michelot. The wine was shot, bu tmust have been quite nice in its day!
