2008 Château Clinet 92 Points

Beautiful bouquet with red and dark berries as well as autumn forest and some mushrooms. On the palate red berries, sticky tannin and a slight touch of sweetness. Today I have a slight doubt of the balance in this wine. Time will tell.

1982 Château Léoville Las Cases 97 Points
France, Bordeaux, Médoc, St. Julien
The bouquet is at first a bit dusty with barnyard and stable smells. On the palate red and dark berries, autumn forest and mushrooms. Firm acidity and tannin. I wrote down : "Much too young, needs at least another 5+ years of cellaring" Unlike the other wines in this tasting this wine was popped and poured (blind) . Everybody thought this was a wine from this century… 95 for this evening, but with a potential for 98 or 99, I put 97 in CT as my score.

The wine is still locked and I did not make many notes. Red and dark berries and some soy(?) in the bouquet. On the palate juicy acidity and drying tannin. Needs probably at least another decade. No score for today.

2008 Château Montrose 93 Points
France, Bordeaux, Médoc, St. Estèphe
The bouquet is a bit dusty and quite locked, but there are a lot of dark berries and vanilla. In fact the same on the palate. Red and dark berries, bell pepper and a good length, but the wine hardly shows any finesse yet. Wait until 2024+ at least. 93++ for today.
