1976 Château Margaux 92 Points

Not dead at all after hours of air. The herbal, minty and sweet qualities make it quite pleasant, almost like a port. Quite nice. 92-93

1990 Château Latour Grand Vin 93 Points
France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac
Off bottle? It is quite strong in peppery flavor, and lacks the graceful balance of the vintage. 93 for the dense showing(?)

1955 Château Latour Grand Vin 94 Points

Blind. Classic nose. Firm concentration, black fruit, subtle brown sugar sweetness, even oyster. The balance is graceful and undertoned. 94-95

1999 Château Lafite Rothschild 93 Points

Warm blue fruit, not quite the signature cigar/pencil box nose, a little thin. 93

1981 Château Lafite Rothschild 93 Points
France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac
Blind. Three separate bottles. At first peppery, but with time exploding into classically Lafite nose. Purple cassis, chalk, tobacco, grilled meat, not showy but quite balanced. Something about the old-school style really delivers. 93

2001 Château Haut-Brion Blanc 93 Points
France, Bordeaux, Graves, Pessac-Léognan
Intense honey, bee wax, citrus fruit, dark florals. Nose is very intricate and complex, but the weight falls short for a Batard comparison. 93

France, Bordeaux, Graves, Pessac-Léognan
Blind. Heavy structure, high alcohol, harsh tannin, sweet fruit, somewhat unexpected for a HB. 93

2000 Château Haut-Brion 96 Points
France, Bordeaux, Graves, Pessac-Léognan
Two bottles. Both are not as expressive as last, but the amazing balance and clarity are present. 96++

1964 Château Haut-Brion 93 Points
France, Bordeaux, Graves, Pessac-Léognan
Ruby color pointing to a much younger age. The nose is more fitting, yet retains even some red fruit. Quite old-school, elegant and balanced. 93
