1947 Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste 88 Points
France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac
Slightly opaque, brick color. Some horse sweat, plums, dried herbs, sour cherries. Pretty intense acidity, even with an hour of air it doesn’t balance out. Still absolutely drinkable though

France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Pomerol
Light brick, opaque. Medicinal, soft cheese, rather light in the palate but the good level of acidity keeps it alive. Very elegant

1933 Château Haut-Brion 94 Points
France, Bordeaux, Graves, Pessac-Léognan
What a surprise for such a challenging vintage. Tar, fruit-in-rum, raisins, birnel, caramel. In the palate the lighter year shines through. But it is still a great pleasure to drink.

1925 Château Haut-Brion 90 Points

1978 Lur-Saluces "Y" 95 Points
France, Bordeaux, Bordeaux Supérieur
From two regular bottles. A different animal from younger Y, as they matured the dry wine in used Yquem barrels back then. This leads to a richer more opulent wine with a touch sweetness. Absolutely no sign of old age or oxidation or the like. This just drinks perfectly well
