Big reds for Aussie steak

Dinner at Neighborhood.

2000 Clos Badon - opened 20 minutes before decanting, and served 20 minutes after.  Nose was a little pungent and stinky with brett.  After opening up a little more, showed more sweetness and some coffee notes.  A little tannic with noticeable acidity.

L'Interdit de Badon - opened 20 minutes before decanting, and served 20 minutes after.  Smoky, almost coffee notes, with ripe, sweet fruit, as well as coconut and cedar notes.

1985 Troplong Mondot - decanted just prior to serving.  Pretty stewed nose, fully ripe.  A little sweet, and pretty unctuous on the palate.

1994 Penfolds Bin 707 - decanted perhaps 15 minutes prior to serving.  Really sweet and big nose of vanilla oak, with coconut butter.  Classic Aussie.

1983 Dunn Howell Mountain - decanted just prior to serving.  Mature, with smoky, leather notes, and a little stinky.  Opened up rather nicely.

2000 Guigal La Mouline - decanted for a while before serving.  Really sweet and ripe, with a little bit of floral notes.

2006 Mollydooker Enchanted Path - opened but not decanted for 3 hours prior to serving.  Really, really sweet, with lots of vanilla and cedar notes.
