Flight 1 - Whites (4 Notes)

Flight 2 - Our table (6 Notes)

  • 2000 Château Cantemerle 90 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Haut-Médoc

    This seems close to peak, but not quite there. An old world bordeaux frame that punches above its price.

  • 1994 Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 93 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac

    30 minute decant then poured into the bottle and drank about 1.5 hours later. Tons of funk, very rustic nose. Nice red fruit, tobacco, spice and loam. This is quite smooth, but it is rustic.

  • 1995 Château Lagrange (St. Julien) 94 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Médoc, St. Julien

    It was neat to try the 1995, 2000 and 2005 all in one flight. The 1995 was at peak and fully mature, with a complex and tertiary frame. The 2000 was not quite ready yet, still tannic and slightly primary. The 2005 was nowhere near ready, with primary fruit and un-integrated oak.

  • 2003 Château Gruaud Larose 92 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Médoc, St. Julien

    Drank a small glass over 2 hours. This wine is funky and young, clearly Bordeaux. This drank surprisingly well at this age, with cassis, funk, slight bacon and graphite. 92 today with lots of potential.
