Introduction

Dinner was too enjoyable so did not take detailed notes

Flight 1 (3 Notes)

Flight 2 (5 Notes)

Flight 3 (4 Notes)

  • 1978 Château Margaux 92 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Margaux

    From magnum - initially a bit steely and fruit perhaps too much in the background. But opened up nicely and found a good balance. I would drink this up - pieces are in place and the wine seems more complete and evolved than the M 1983

  • 1983 Château Margaux 94 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Margaux

    Thought still somewhat tight - but great structure and poise with a hint of tobacco, cigar box, and perfect balance. Would give this another couple of years - less sweet and opulent than the Palmer 1983

  • 1983 Château Palmer 96 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Margaux

    Think my fourth or fifth bottle and again so clearly in its Zen - seductive, sweetish nose - almost mature Burg - opulent in the mouth and amazing length. What a wine!

  • 1982 Château La Mission Haut-Brion 98 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Graves, Pessac-Léognan

    This showed very well - powerful and complete; I find this wine always (well only third bottle) a bit Latour-like compared to other La Mission's - stoic, structured, long, perfect
