Default 88 Dom. Lambrays

Unfortunately this was not a great success. First, it was the village
MstD, not the Clos. The wine was in a mislabeled 3 bottle wooden case,
otherwise I think I would have dispatched it some time ago. (The
mislabeling was probably my fault, it wasn't the original storage. Must
have happened nearly 20 years ago, though.) The level was good but the
cork was pretty fishy: shrunken almost.

The wine itself was, I think damaged, and as such not really worthy of a
tasting note. Very light brick red. A little nose of violets and
cherries, some griotte and mushroom in the mouth but altogether very
short and over the hill. We drank it anyway, and it did acceptably with
the pigeon (which was excellent), but I would not have served it to guests.

With the first course, genuiyne americun shrimp cocktail (somehow had a
hankering, go figure!) the 2005 Luneau-Papin L d'Or was excellent as
always, and even stood up quite well to the heat in the cocktail sauce.
