Superb Pauillac! A blend of 75% CS, 15% Merlot and 10% CF: Bell pepper, cherry, prune, tobacco leaf, cassis, cigar box, medium plus body, great long finish.

10th of 12, decanted an hour, perfect cork and level, in line with last bottle in April 22, good whack of fruit infused with mineral but just a little 4 square compared with Barton and Poyferre 99 on same night, possible upside given energy to fruit, 12+ years. VGI (17).

Decent but a little boring tbh, not sure whether it was a poor bottle or on the decline. Tannins have mellowed, perhaps a bit too much, like there’s no grip at all. Short finish, fruit still present but minimal tertiary flavor development, a bit of graphite is all. Easy to drink but terrible qpr.

Prime late drinking window I think. Don't see it improving - just evolving, but we're not quite at full blown mushroom yet.

13% alcohol. Cork of average length and slightly above average quality; no wine penetration though. Lots of deposit in the neck of the bottle, easily removed at the opening stage. Decanted an hour ahead. Dark colour with some thinning (but no bricking) at the rim.
The nose is very enticing, classic maturing Médoc with a good deal of blackcurrant left; tertiary aromas include some leather, but really the fruit dominates and no complaint. No oak in evidence.
The mouth is consistent with the nose and it adds an unexpected nimble quality more reminiscent of St Julien than Pauillac, but who cares? Some tobacco leaves and plenty of energy. Resolved tannins but good grip nevertheless; menthol in the finish adds to the lively feel.
I would put this bottle a notch below the Haut Bailly 2001 that I had yesterday. Nevertheless highly satisfying and surprisingly youthful.
I have had a good run with my Bordeaux recently, so I am perhaps turning into a spoilt child...

PS: interesting to note that I enjoyed this bottle a lot better than the one I had in 2020.

Wines at Jordan's wedding: Showed a little older than I thought it was with some tertiary mushroom notes and a cardboard note that made me wonder if it was corked. Together with the rusticity and hard tannins, I went for 1995. Not the most exciting wine and a little foursquare.

Drinking rather well at the moment! Supple texture along with silky red fruits, nose is lovely, sweet red leathery fruits dominate, a hint of leather! I prefer to drink it now!

The end of the 1990s, and imagine this year over 2 decades ago.. the excitement that preceded the welcoming of the millennium. A privilege to enjoy this as part of our 90s PC vertical at Champignon.

Right out of the decanter, this 1999 was very powerful, smooth tannins, wonderful milk chocolate notes and I ranked it 3rd initially.

However, after 2 hours of airtime, it seemed to close on my palate and the tannins became grippy.. Perhaps I had too much to drink by 10pm. Ended up in 6th or last place, by my book!

Note: I use the recommended scale, so 85 is a very good wine.

I was not as impressed as some others. The wine was pretty much ready to drink when opened. It did not improve much through the botte (2+ hours). Fruit not as present as I hoped/wanted it to be.
A bit unidimensional to me.

Much better with food, i.e., a very nice rib-eye steak.

Saturday evening in Bellevue. We are celebrating the birthdays of the girls. Deep ruby Color. Excellent nose with raspberry, dried berries, mushrooms smelling a bit like truffles 😉, earthiness, I like it. Med acidity, full body, high alcohol, Med flavor intensity, Med tannins, Med + finish. Very medicinal mouth, fruity, lingering saltiness, finish is a bit too short to be at the top. Excellent wine but time to drink it. No need for decanting I believe.

PNP, decanted for slight sediment. Accessible from opening. On the aromatic nose cassis and plum. On the palate black and red currants. Some blackberry. Sweet tobacco and leather. Nicely balanced fruit, acidity and slightly chewy tannins. Long finish. Just a bit lean and rustic, lovely classic left bank Bordeaux. Plenty of life ahead.

Korta noter från en middag
Fantastisk doft av björnbär, blyerts, läder med lite cigarrlåda som börjar komma fram.
Massor av mogna frukter som balanseras perfekt med de härliga tertiära smakerna. Lena tanniner med fortfarande bra med syra. Oerhört strukturerat vin som är i fantastiskt bra drickfönster och det är svårt att lägga ner glaset så blev till och med en flaska till

Gang of 4 in Covid19 times; Margaux versus Pauillac (@ RW): Beautiful and mature bouquet with barnyard and stable impressions in the start, but they blow off after a while. Also still dark berries and pleasant oak. On the palate red and dark berries like blackberries, leather, juicy acidity, soft and round tannin. Overall a beautiful and mature wine with still good freshness and pleasant rustic impressions.

13% alcohol. The cork is short, but it shows no wine penetration; thick crust of tartrates. Decanted an hour ahead. Medium colour with little sign of ageing.
The nose is fruity, with élevage and evolution showing up only at the tail end; powdery sensations too. The mouth is vivid and full, but it has an undeniable rustic component, large enough to become the defining feature of the wine.
Very little Pauillac character, and I am not even sure if I would have identified a Médoc if served blind. That being said, it is enjoyable and I can't have paid more than 20€ for it at the time.
A mixed bag at best, and significantly worse than previous bottles.

A note of green pepper intertwined with the fruit on the nose. Tails off with some asian spice and oak.

Anders in Oslo; 3/4/2020-3/5/2020 (Oslo): Text book matured Bordeaux on the nose. Moss and forest floor with leather and lead on top. Feels almost like a Cote Rotie with that spicy and cured hanged meat flavours. Pretty unripe on the palate disclosing that this is not a top vintage.

Opened an hour before serving, and it probably could have used much more. Deep garnet color, with the barest hints of age at the rim of the glass. Classic Pauillac bouquet, albeit not with the most robust concentration from greater vintages. Still, this is compelling, with cassis and graphite, an oaky spice, and minerals. In the mouth, youthful. The structure remains weighty. It's a restrained, refined wine, and shows just how beautiful Bordeaux is in these "drinkers'" vintages. A-

Nose of red fruits, dried plums, mint leaves, spices. Tasted dark fruits, cherries, mint, gravel, with black tea and earthy tertiaries. Warm and nice spicy finish. Almost past it’s drinking window though. Open now

Dark red, no bricks on the edges. Opened and tasted over four hours. Needed at least three to be at its best. Black tea, cedar , tobacco and smoke on the nose. The earthiness softened with time, the crisp black cherry came out early and stayed for the finish. Graphite, vanilla, and still has moderate tannic grip.
