  • 1953 Clos Beauregard 84 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Pomerol

    Nose: burnt coffee, cola, brown sugar. Just old.
    Palate: No fruit left but still a little acidity. Coffee and chestnut, burnt rubber.
    Still a drinkable wine but clearly too old.

Flight 3 (1 Note)

  • 1989 Château La Conseillante 95 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Pomerol

    A lovely nose consisting of sweet and elegant red currants, strawberries with a hint of leaves/bush. The nose also has a hint of vanilla and barnyard.
    Pretty on the palate as well with a fresh strawberrry/cherry fruit and a medium long aftertaste that is quite tannic. There is plenty of complex green herbs and a barnyard like impression.
    Still quite fresh and a good structure and a wine that will just improve.

Flight 4 (1 Note)

  • 2006 Terre di Leone Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 94 Points

    Italy, Veneto, Valpolicella, Amarone della Valpolicella Classico

    Quite heavy on the nose yielding boiled raspberries, a hint of vanilla and even a little black currant fruit.
    Powerful cherry fruit on the palate but only medium sweet which is quite nice and makes the wines seem quite fresh.
    There is also a lovely and refreshing taste of dried flowers on the palate which really lifts the whole impression.
    Overall a great, semi-traditional, yount wine with plenty of muscles but still with a lot of drinkability.
    Definitely also a wine that would improve with some age!
    94-95p

Flight 5 (1 Note)

  • 1989 Tertre Rôteboeuf 95 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Libournais, St. Émilion Grand Cru

    Initially mostly mushrooms, iron and rust on the nose but with some air it showed lovely hints of black currant and barnyard.
    Still a young wine on the palate with lots of black currant fruit and a little iron and lead.
    The fruit is still quite intense with a lovely aged meat hint.
    This was definitely a wine that changed a lot over with a couple of hours of air.
    Initially it was lacking in depth but with some air it really put on a lot of weight

  • 2004 Louis Roederer Champagne Cristal Brut 97 Points

    France, Champagne

    Very young yeasty nose with harsh fresh green apples. Seems very closed down and has some gun powder and black pepper.
    Hard and reluctant on the palate with immature green apples. Huge intensity and just a very that I think will turn out really well!
