Somehow when I was doing notes last week I apparently cut (and then neglected to paste) a note on the other Bordeaux we had at our lamb dinner, the 2002 Ch. Lagrange. So I don’t have my notes from that night, but I remember (a) oak was still a tad unintegrated (b) it was a little fruitier/rounder than I expected for 2002, and ( c) I liked but didn’t love it. 

Wednesday was grey sole, broccoli rabe, potatoes, and the 2022 Hatzidakis Familia Assyrtiko (Santorini). Green apple, citrus, bright, a little wet rock. Good, but not a particular deal at $30+. B

Thursday chicken tonkatsu style with chicory slaw, rice with furikake, and the 2014 Rings 
Saumagen Riesling GG. Solid acid core, Granny smith, lemon, and ginger, fairly powerful, but straightforward. B/B+

 Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent wine, B a good wine, C drinkable. Anything below C means I wouldn't drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.

Three or four years ago I gave my last bottle of 2002 Lagrange to a
friend who opened it
when I visited him the following year. I think you would have given it
an A-/A.
