Red
1985 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Grands-Echezeaux
98 points
stunning aromas of underbrush, forest, spice and ripe fruits. kept getting better. thank you Alex!
Red
1986 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Grands-Echezeaux
94 points
less refined and more sous bois than 85 but certainly no pushover. excellent showing given mediocre vintage.
Red
1992 Domaine Méo-Camuzet Richebourg
93 points
seductively complex. some think it's a bit tight but I like itsintensity and purity.
Flight 5 (2 notes)
Red
1986 Château Haut-Brion
97 points
glorious cigar box nose. don't think this wine can be much better than this showing. totally trumped Latour.
Red
1986 Château Latour Grand Vin
92 points
solid showing but not spectacular. rather subdued next to the glorious Haut Brion.
