61 Ducru and Sbragia

Dinner at Brasserie on the Eighth.

1999 Beringer Chardonnay Sbragia-Limited Release - it was superb. Very rich and creamy, buttery, plus fruity citrus and almonds. Yummy.

1961 Ducru-Beaucaillou - peaked just around 4 hours after opening. As expected it did not drink well at first but improved over time. Tannins round and smooth but still present, showing that this wine can last even longer! Very rich red fruits and nose remains very sweet. Everyone liked the wine. Hint of roasted game. Initially finish was very short, gradually got longer. However the bottle did not drink as well as my earlier bottle.
