Haut Condissas and La Butte

Dinner at a friend's home.

2020 Domaine de la Butte Bourgueil Le Haut de la Butte - served 1 hour after opening. This was more smoky than expected, with leather notes. After 3½ hours there were more black fruits showing.

2009 Haut Condissas Prestige, en magnum - started serving 25 minutes after decanting. Surprisingly there was a lot of coconut butter on the nose along with black fruits. Another 20 minutes in there were lots of sweet fruits.

Bought from the château for EUR 50 plus shipping.
