Gruaud Larose and Philip

Dinner at a friend's home.

2022 Mazzei Philip - opened the previous evening and vacuum pumped. Nose was a little muted and initially served a little too cold. As it opened up the nose was showing fruity and minty notes, almost sweet like candy.

2017 Gruaud Larose - started drinking 1 hour after opening. Ripe fruit on the nose, but a little metallic. Opened up a little more later and became more fragrant.
