Introduction
90ies and 91s
Flight 1 (1 note)
Red
1991 Château Montrose
90 points
Probably the best 1991 Bordeaux I've ever had. Rather discrete wine, but good balance, with pencil shavings, a bit of cedar, and not the greenishness that I expected.
Flight 2 (1 note)
Red
1990 Château Gruaud Larose
93 points
Think this drank very well yesterday, after the Montrose 1991 it felt more full-bodied and sweeter with great concentration / power. Decanted about 2 hours ahead.
Flight 3 (1 note)
Red
1991 Penfolds Grange
95 points
Wonderful wine - that's how good Shiraz can get in perfection. Sweet, balanced, long; slight peppery nose; Shiraz notes but in an elegant fashion. Still youthful.
Flight 4 (2 notes)
Red
1990 Château Ducru-Beaucaillou
90 points
Showed quite nicely. Medium-bodied and classic Bordeaux feel. Would drink this now.
White - Sweet/Dessert
1990 Château Rieussec
92 points
Deep golden color. Sweet but not overly so, some acid overtones which I liked. Pleasant.
