1928 Château Carbonnieux 97 Points
France, Bordeaux, Graves, Pessac-Léognan
This wine is a f***ing rockstar! Same near blackish color as Haut Brion ‘29 or ‘34. Extremely intense and rich nisem medicinal, intense and awesome! Mid weight but very long with some residual tannins (after 90 years!). This rocks!!!

Flight 3 (3 Notes)
1929 Château Pontet-Canet 80 Points
France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac
95 point nose - 65 point palate. So on average you land somewhere near 80. Awesome nose reminding me of Martha’s with mint, medicinal, eucalyptus and candied sugar. But hard, edgy, sour and short in the palate

Deep dark color, Herbal, cookie dough, malt, butter, caramel. Long and rich, this was plain awesomness in liquid form

1952 Château La Mission Haut-Brion 94 Points
France, Bordeaux, Graves, Pessac-Léognan
Malt, guiness, iodine and earthy tones with some apricot mixed in just for some funkyness, grilled porcini in the palate (surprisingly not in the nose). A beauty but clearly behind the Haut Brion for me

1953 Château Gruaud Larose 89 Points
France, Bordeaux, Médoc, St. Julien
Tiny bit of oxidation, but still very enjoyable, mokka, chocolate. Good acidty and length

The cork devil again

1949 Château Ausone 80 Points
France, Bordeaux, Libournais, St. Émilion Grand Cru
The nose is like what I imagine the grand hall in the hotel in Shining to smell like after the winter (minus the work of Jack of course), rather light but drinkable

1931 Château La Mission Haut-Brion 91 Points
France, Bordeaux, Graves, Pessac-Léognan
Tasted blind - the iodine, herbal and medicinal notes (and - to be fair - the fact that we already had some Missions that night) let us guess that it was an old Mission from a lesser year. But 1931? My god, this was good for such a bad year!

1978 Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Cask 23 99 Points
USA, California, Napa Valley, Stags Leap District
Tasted blind. I guessed Martha 1978. Man this wine blew me away. Such a pretty magnum! Dense, opulent, sweet, black berries, eucalyptus, extremely long and felt oh so young! STUNNING

1934 Château Rabaud-Promis 92 Points
France, Bordeaux, Sauternais, Sauternes
Needed some time to loose a plastic note but after 30 minutes it became a beauty of a Sauternes. Almond paste, creme brulee, elegant!

1908 Château Guiraud 100 Points

Black like a new moon night in the African Bush! Extremely dense, rich, opulent with an utterly balance sweetness-acidity structure. Indescribable and unbelievable.

1959 Château Talbot 93 Points
France, Bordeaux, Médoc, St. Julien
Cherries, dried leaves, feels surprisingly young for its age, rustic - as is Talbot - but a nice bordeaux typicity. Gets better with air!
