Dinner at Brasserie on the Eighth.
1990 Henschke Cyril Henschke - noticeably sweeter on the palate, also fuller-bodied and firmer tannins despite the age. My preferred wine of the night.
1990 Vieux Château Certan - a little disappointing. It was very smoky at the beginning. This dissipated but there just wasn't enough fruit. It was classic, understated Bordeaux. Improved a bit after 2-2½ hours, but so typical of many Bordeaux - not interesting enough.
