4/5/2023 - dcwino wrote: 96 pointsWine gathering at RJ's; 4/4/2023-4/7/2023 (South Carolina): Incredibly complex tertiary dominating nose displaying mature sweet red fruit, plum, dry cherry, a hint of cassis, leather, strong tobacco, lead pencil, sweet spices and earth. Still showing generous red fruit, warm and rich, bright acidity, strong iron mineral, still showing a bit of tannins, and a long mature red fruit driven finish with tobacco and iron at the end. I am a big fan of very old Bordeau and I love the mature red fruit expression that can only come from old reds. There are no great old wines but only great bottles and this is great. |

11/17/2021 - KenK wrote: 87 pointsRezek Society Honors Hugo (Casino Club): What a treat to try a nearly 100 year old wine clearly well kept, but now faded. Good dark browning brick color leads to a aromas of autumn leaves, and intriguing dried black spices. Perhaps less interesting flavors on the palate showing oxidized character with elements of dried dark fruits and spice. So educational. Well past prime and more about tasting a piece of history.

1/2/2021 - Toratein Likes this wine: NRLast of the two bottles. Surprisingly lively still and held up well in the glass for much longer than expected. Very acidic (as the previous bottle). Wonderful aromatics on the nose when letting the wine rest in the glass for a bit. |

6/6/2019 - Keith Levenberg wrote: 92 pointsLow fill, in fact only barely into the shoulder at all, but it was the last bottle in the cellar and a healthy ruby color was still visible through the thick glass, so we gave it a go. Cork comes out in one piece - it's the original cork and black as coal. The wine pours out light and pale, but still red, no browning or any sort of oxidized scents. It doesn't have much fruit left, what's there is mostly a dried, dusty cherry, but after expecting more on the entry it delivers on the back end, where the light fruit is overtaken by the stocky savoriness that only comes with full maturity alongside sensations of old wood, a mix of antique cedar spice box and decaying forestal logs, reverberating long enough on the backdraft you could almost call it perfumed. The word "retro-nasal" is used from time to time in winespeak but you'd be hard-pressed to find a better demonstration of it than this: about 50% of this wine and 100% of what's interesting about it is retro-nasal at this point. The fruit gains a bit of a boost with some airing, but not a whole lot. It peaks after about an hour and at the two hour mark even the dried cherry has segued into leaner, juicier apples which is pretty much the end-of-life stage. |

But when it did, we were treated to an elegant wine, certainly about its tertiary notes now but still with a pure vein of raspberry running through it. Sous-bois, old chesterfields, etc. Thanks Jude! |

10/9/2017 - KenK wrote: 90 pointsCubs Playoff Wines (Lake Forest, IL): A real treat to try. Mature earthy aromas of a dusty autumn walk through a forest. Dry dark flavors with some nice elements of sweet dark cherry. Finishes a bit lean and dry, yet offers nice pleasure. Based on this bottle, which had nice dark color, although quite opaque, best days behind. By no means dead or void of interest. Thanks GW. |

1/4/2017 - dcwino wrote: 96 pointsAvery Family Cellar Inaugural Wine Dinner - Really old wines (Eddie V's - Tysons Corner, VA): Beautiful complex nose displaying bright red fruit, strawberry, strawberry jam, brandy-soaked cherries eucalyptus, beef jerky and a hint of ash. Fully integrated harmonious palate, silky and polished, and a long subtle finish that resonates. Really serious and absolutely delicious at the same time. I highly recommend if you can source a properly cellared bottle. |

11/16/2015 - AHVinoFile wrote: 84 points[Grand Millesime's Bordeaux:The Legendary Years 1928-1961 dinner at Circa Restaurant, Melbourne; bn, recorked?] Deep dark garnet, semi-opaque with russet edge. Languid black fruit nose & nuances struggling to hold together. Despite its promising color, only moderately deep but smooth & mellow, with fast-fading black fruits & not much left of a structure, becoming dry & hollow after half an hour in glass. Modest attenuated finish. At best (84). |

Drinking much younger than its 76 years. Even fresher than '62 Lafite opened in celebration of their 50th wedding anniversary last summer. Viva la BDX! |

Still showing good fruit with really interesting spice. It was challenging to identify this wine's grape(s) or country or region of origin, but it was a really enjoyable glass, still quite vibrant and enjoyable. |
