what a great Beaujolais. very forward, lots of fruits, florest floor, blackberries. good length.

Flight 3 (2 notes)

Red
1986 Château Pichon-Longueville Baron France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac
90 points
lovely mature nose of lead pencil, earth and dark coffee. quite typical of the terroir. palate just a little dry towards the end.
Red
1986 Château Sociando-Mallet France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Haut-Médoc
82 points
mature old style nose of lead pencil and graphite. rustic tannins. too much soy sauce and wet forest for my liking.

Flight 4 (2 notes)

Red
2006 Château Léoville Poyferré France, Bordeaux, Médoc, St. Julien
91 points
beautiful nose of sweet berries, smoke and espresso that's becoming very consistent among recent vintages. can definitely do with a couple more years in the bottle but can be enjoyed now.
Red
2000 Château Talbot France, Bordeaux, Médoc, St. Julien
94 points
sexy and punchy nose of smoke, licorice, herb, sweet earth, and leather. will no doubt improve but quite irresistible now - why wait?
