Yeah, the Gaunoux wasn't closed at the start, but it was fairly
backward. Speaking of which, the remains of the '89 L-B last night with
grilled, butterflied leg of lamb (the bounty of a mild Fall) was much
improved: more savory, less cedary, more like an aged Cabernet. It
still didn't have as much herbal character as I like in my Bdx, but
that's probably just Pauillac.
