Red, white and pink

Dinner at a friend's house

2000 Philipponnat Rosé Cuvée "1522" - pretty disappointing.  Nose was virtually non-existent, with just some red fruits on the palate.

2009 Donnafugata Vigna di Gabri - very ripe and alcoholic.  Pretty nice and aromatic, with metallic notes and lots of toast and minerals.

1989 Lafite-Rothschild - decanted for 2½ hours prior to drinking.  Mineral, salty, soy sauce, smoky.  Very open and beautiful.  Opened up more with time, showing lovely black fruits and eventually lead pencil.
