Lynch Bages, Pauillac, 1975
Very aged Pauillac, 1975!! Thanks to Morgan, what a privilege. Fruit very much present, this must be what 'silky smooth' wine means. Tannins are faint, very well aged, and there's still a decently good finish!!

Domaine Christian Serafin, Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Les Baudes 2004.
2004 known to be a cool year, hence grapes weren't optimally ripe. Christian Serafin is vinify in classic burgundian styles. Uncork @ 10am, decant at 2pm, in cool environment. Very strong perfume through the day, dark fruits intertwined with Figs, very strong tannins.

Drinking time 8pm onwards: The strong 'Ribena' nose is not there, with forest floor, green tea?, herbal, some figs on the nose, complex palatte, good finish.

Barton 93: Very big, quite heavy still, TK opened since noon.
Lalande 04: Opened for 2 days, initially when it's cold, flambouyant nose and sweet palette, upon warming up, nose of the Left Bank was present... Excellent preparation.
Le Brulee 03: Very delicate, classic figs on the nose, light and very enjoyable on the palette.
