drinking solo sucks but someone's got to do it ...

les hauts de pontet 1996 (pauillac)

ruby, slight rust on the rim; nice nose, hint of blackcurrant, fruit/wood melded, a little metallic?; initially a little flat? but opened up after about 15 min; ... everything's melded nicely, mineral; linear; balanced, soft acid and tannins; medium/light bodied; medium length; sipped it all night;

second echelon to a 5th growth? ... works for me BANG!
