  • 1990 Château Haut-Brion 97 Points

    No words for it. Complete and complex. TOP! TOP! TOP! At 5 years of age this is already so smooth and great and also still so silky powerful. Hope to taste this again in the future. 97+

  • 1985 Château Mouton Rothschild 93 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac

    At 10 years of age the bouquet is impressive with dark berries, luxurious oak, cedar, lead pencil, smoke etc. On the palate however the wine is still locked. Probably wise to wait another 6 - 10 years. 93+

  • 1993 Château Latour Grand Vin

    France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac

    Full bodied. Sticky tannin all over. I don't trust this bottle. Although the general constitution seems to be ok, I have the impression the wine is not completely fresh. No score.

  • 1993 Château Talbot 89 Points

    The wine is a bit rustic in the bouquet and on the palate. Dark berries, cassis, some sweetness, good concentration, acidity and length. A bit too easy for the very long term. 89 for now.

  • 1993 Château Pape Clément 91 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Graves, Pessac-Léognan

    Fairly light ruby red. In the bouquet beautiful berries and sweet spices. Vanilla. Refined and beautiful wine already and certainly a future of 10+ years.

  • 1993 Domaine de Chevalier 90 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Graves, Pessac-Léognan

    Fairly light ruby red. Good black and red berries, sweet vanilla. A lot of finesse and already a great pleasure. But is there enough concentration for the long term? Today I am not sure about that.

  • 1991 Château Ducru-Beaucaillou 88 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Médoc, St. Julien

    Supple wine with ok berries and vanilla and finesse. The Léoville las Cases tasted beside it was much better. This Ducru is not for the long term.

  • 1989 Château L'Enclos 91 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Pomerol

    Ripe and creamy red and black berries. This wine is still in its youthful stage. Will probably improve with some more ageing. 5+ years?
