Dinner at Dinner by Heston Blumenthal in London.
2010 Dagueneau Silex - the first glass I was poured didn't seem fresh, and the staff poured me another glass from a different bottle which was nice and fresh. Surprisingly ripe and sweet on the nose, almost candied pineapple, a little muscat. Later the nose was more flinty. Good acidity on the finish, and a little grippy.
2006 Boekenhoutskloof Cabernet Sauvignon - nice nose of graphite, some ripe fruit, smoke, cedar, and woodsy notes. A little sweet on the palate. Drinking well now.
Yamazaki 18 Years - very sweet, and almost honey-like on the nose... with some nashi notes. Not too smoky and peaty, with almost a hint of bee pollen.
