2000 Château Barde-HautSt. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more |
4/7/2013 - rocketview wrote: 87 pointsClassic nose of smoke and saddle leather. Complex on the palette. A rich and dense wine, with good fruit and balance. Sadly, it seemed to have a slight sourness to the taste - "nail polish (acetone)" as one other reviwer noted was very much in evidence both on the nose and in the taste . May not have been the best bottle, though have had since original futures delivery. |

1989 Château Lynch-BagesPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
3/16/2013 - rocketview Likes this wine: 99 pointsTerrific, classic Pauillac. Nose of cedar and graphite mixed with exotic spices. Still very firm tannins, but beginning to be approachable, much like a young California Cab, just a 23 year-old youngster. Sophisticated complexity on the palate. While the tannis are big, the wine is not monolithic, it offers a sublime subtlety and long finish with overtones of red fruit and cassis to blend with the leathery lead pencil. Softer than the 86s and simply a great wine, maybe as some have suggested, best ever for Lynch. |

1990 Château Pape ClémentPessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend more |
12/16/2012 - rocketview Likes this wine: 93 pointsFragrant fruits and minerals on the nose, still youthful, firm, though medium weight. Initial powerful impression, Expansive range on the palate, black currant, tobacco, stone and hint of lead pencil. Opened from bottle, gained more balance after one hour. Long life ahead, though will remain medium weight. Stored in temp controlled cellar since release. |

1990 Château Beausejour (Duffau Lagarrosse)St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more |
12/8/2012 - rocketview Likes this wine: 99 pointsExotic clove, cardoman, and reoemary spices mixed with meaty flavors. A complex and profound wine. Decanted 2 hours in advance, explosive impression from the glass. Rich port like nature softened somwhat to reach a perfect balance and long finish. A wine reaching its apogee, though with many years left to evolve. |

1990 Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon Special SelectionNapa Valley more |
12/9/2012 - rocketview wrote: 94 pointsClassic CA cab, eucalyptus and firm body - now fully mature, but still a lovely wine. Silkier than in its youth, complex mixture of cinnamon, clove spices on the nose. After over an hour in the glass (and decanted before) held on strong and grew in popularity. |

1982 Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de LalandePauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
11/22/2012 - rocketview wrote: 99 pointsRobust for it's age, yet maintained the classic silkiness and sweetness of plum jam and sweet black fruits. Perfect balance long finish. A wine at it's prime, but will last a decade or more. |
