90 Points

Saturday, April 27, 2024 - Dinner at B&A: Blind. Mid ruby to a dense garnet. Classic pencil lead with a hint of tobacco suggesting left bank claret. Tannin to fruit profile and evolution makes me think of 86. So right bank and must therefore be VCC, but way off on ages. Turns out to be 99 which perhaps explains the dryer slightly recalcitrant tannin profile. A good 99 but I’m not sure the fruit will outlast the structure, so maybe one to enjoy now. ***1/2
