1990 Château Lafite RothschildPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
4/17/2024 - Jeremy Holmes wrote: NRBottles donated from the Lafite Rothschild cellar. Seriously good! The nose draws you in with such pure cassis fruit, violet florals and lead pencil. Luscious fruits surround the high tensile, graphite spine. It is rich and voluminous yet so focused and detailed. It is fresh, youthful and has terrific length. |

1985 Tenuta San Guido SassicaiaVino da Tavola Red Bordeaux Blend more |
4/17/2024 - Jeremy Holmes wrote: NRBottles from the Yalumba museum cellar. I’ve been fortunate enough to have had this legendary wine several times, but not for a long time. It is still powering on, with the purest core of intense cassis fruit. It has some tar and bitter chocolate and purple flower notes. It is supple and succulent, deep and long. Acid balance is perfect, and it is such a vital wine. |
