Lynch-Bages and Cos Blanc

Dinner at the Chairman.

2016 Cos d'Estournel Blanc - oily on the nose with a little kerosene. Acidity was nice as always but not too sharp.

1995 Hospices de Beaune Corton Cuvée Charlotte Dumay, élevé par Dominique Laurent - a little stewed fruit, with black olives and leather notes. Good acidity here. More animal and not too much fruit, so this was a little more lean and less alluring.

1990 Lynch-Bages - decanted and served about an hour after opening. Not a lot of fruit left, but lots of graphite, smoke, grilled meats, and cedar. Soft on the palate by now.
