70 La Lagune and 04 Bruno Paillard

Dinner at Mandarin Grill + Bar.

2004 Bruno Paillard Blanc de Blancs - really easy to drink. Pretty smooth on the palate, and the acidity was surprisingly not as high as I expected for a blanc de blancs. A little ripe on the palate, with slight bitterness on the finish.

1970 La Lagune - opened for 1 hour without decanting.  Nice acidity and still some tannins here, but otherwise a pretty typical claret.
