Enjoyed by all. Showed a bit reserved versus it's normal profile.

Over the hill, and not a lot of joy here.

A beautiful aged CdC. This was fantastic.

Drank well, but would have benefitted from more air. Suggest 2-3 hour decant next time. No signs of pox.

A beautiful wine that's in a great space right now. The 92 drinks much better than its perceived vintage status.

Like a bottle last year, this drank well for a youngster. Opened up well over two hours. This is a nice wine.

This bottle was in great shape, drank fine, but just didn't excite me.

This bottle outperformed. Lovely and quite pleasant. Perfect with a rabbit dish.

Dark fruits. Brooding. Haunting. Very nice.

Massively corked.

A good bottle of 95, but short of the greatness that this vintage can achieve.

The green meanies were at the forefront with this bottle. Dill, green... Straight up it wasn't too enjoyable, but with food it was passable.

A nice side by side of 76 and 66 DP. Both were great. Initially the table was split, but in the end the depth of the 66 prevailed and it was preferred.

My first 79 CdC. Drank very nicely. A touch tired at the margin, but not a drop was left in anyone's glass.

Another great 02 BBM. Delish.

A brilliant wine that's drinking amazingly well given its youth. Thrilled to own this.

A nice bottle, but it was simply smoked by the 08 Carillon BBM drunk side by side.

A very nice bottle. Performed as expected but didn't hit it out if the park.

Deep, brooding. Will be a stud. Worth opening if you have a bunch, but hang on if you only have a few.

Very good, but not great.

The 89 is a terrific Unico, and this bottle was great.

Drank beautifully over a leisurely lunch. Even more expressive than previous bottles.

Decent but very reserved.

From a restaurant list. Drank very well, and is a very nice value.

The 69 and 75 Oeno's side by side were both perfection. But for me the 69 is on a different planet.

Beautiful as always, but smoked by the 2011 Boucheres.

Stunning as always. Exotic and seductive. A standout in any crowd.

Drunk the 09 and 10 side by side. The 2010 started slow, but simply grew and grew in the glass. I really liked it, and would seek it out. The 09 was good, but lacked sophistication and in the end didn't impress like the 2010.

Very good, and I kept coming back to this wine over the night.

I'm pretty sure this was the real thing, and it showed very well.

I've had perfect ex-chateau bottles of this, and it can be a real stunner. For me, this bottle was a bit weak, but others really liked it. Maybe it was me.

This wine has never moved me, and tonight was no exception.

Generally a killer wine for me. This bottle was good, but didn't hit the greatness that I've come to expect.

A terrific wine, that was really good. Deep, dark, intoxicating.

This was a very interesting bottle, that kind of appealed to the intellect more than the hedonist. I thought we might lose one diner, and he was so into this wine it almost acted as a black hole and sucked him into the glass. Would like to try it again, and I haven't had this before.

A few of us thought this lightly corked, and I couldn't get any joy.

A vertical of 99,00,01,02,03. The 99 was the class of the quintet and consensus #1. While they will last forever, the 99's are beginning to show well. The 00 was a slight surprise on the upside, and was very beguiling. The 01 under-performed. The 02 was great and consensus #2. Beautiful and balanced as always. The 03 was fine, just not memorable. Have had two 03 RSV's this summer, and neither showed the stereo-type vintage characteristics. Rock solid burgs if not rock stars.
