1970 Château TalbotSt. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend more |
3/10/2024 - FransS wrote: 87 pointsWinefield's pre-sale tasting: I often have a kind of struggle with the older vintages of Talbot with often a rubbery impression in the bouquet and this '70 had, for me, that rubbbery impression. In the second part of the taste the wine was more balanced, but not so elegant. |

2021 Escarpment Pinot Noir PahiMartinborough more |
3/24/2024 - FransS wrote: 90 pointsCompared to the Kiwa, the Pahi has a bit more colour, has a tad more vanilla, some peppers and less pronounced bitters. The acidity is more gentle and the wine shows some roundness and lots of craftsmanship, but is not very inviting. |

2023 Fonjoya Delta Chardonnay Orimos Grande ReserveVin de Pays d'Oc more |
3/21/2024 - FransS wrote: 75 pointsA wine I do not like; the bouquet shows a whiff of acetone in the bouquet and in the taste, banana (?) cardboard (?), missing balance in the (after)taste. It is hard to believe that time in the bottle will help this wine. |

2000 Château Labégorce-ZédéMargaux Red Bordeaux Blend more |
3/10/2024 - FransS wrote: 93 pointsWinefield's pre-sale tasting: Always a joy to taste this 2000; cracking fresh fruit, lively citrus, an elegant and concentrated taste and tasty bitters bitters. The firm tannins (hallmark of the 2000 vintage) are very acceptable in the dense aftertaste. |

1989 Château Marquis d'AlesmeMargaux Red Bordeaux Blend more |
3/10/2024 - FransS wrote: 87 pointsWinefield's pre-sale tasting: In 1989 the name was still Alesme-Becker and considering the quality of the vintage I had hoped for more. Very mature, even a bit too, Although in the midtaste the body and the spices gave some compensation; the finish was a bit rough; still a very drinkable wine after nearly 35 years. |

1992 Château DauzacMargaux Red Bordeaux Blend more |

1987 Château DauzacMargaux Red Bordeaux Blend more |
3/10/2024 - FransS wrote: 87 pointsWinefield's pre-sale tasting: A friendly bouquet with some ripe fruit, a bit decay in the midtaste, but nicely followed by spiciness, good bitters and dry tannins; 86 points and one for surviving 37 years from a very, very modest vintage. |

1977 Château Phélan SégurSt. Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend more |
3/10/2024 - FransS wrote: 87 pointsWinefield's pre-sale tasting: Unbelievable, a horrible vntage and than nearly 47 years later this wine is still drinkable, even a bit enjoyable. The bouquet is modest, but fresh, no decay in tje liighy taste, suggesting a bit fruit. In the aftertaste the tannins are a little bit harsh; 86 point for the wine iitself and one for surviving so long. |
