I'm in the oldest foreign branch of a society for Bordeaux wines - it was founded in 1954 - and all our dinners have black tie as de rigeur. I'm The Donald of it and was re-elected president again that night.

Agreed - I have a crate of them in the cellar, but they’re way too young to be appreciated to the full IMHO - wait 10 years at the least

Not the best vintage in those years, but I would certainly enjoyed joining the band, even is the price to pay is to wear a Donald tie …
Had Chateau La Pointe tonight, I know it’s no excuse :-)

Must have been a treat - 2001 is one of the best vintages for that wine in the late millenium

Amities
Slaintefully yours, Philippe
