  December 22, 2023 - 1953 Dinner: Milestone Birthday (Gemma Fish + Oyster): The wine that I was the most excited about for the night since I do think 53 is a really special year and so perhaps this is an issue of expectations just too high. It was totally fine and drinking ok but not one of those perfect bottles and it was a good wine but perhaps not quite as great as I’d hoped it would be. The Margaux, Canon and Mouton all showed a bit better. Alas. Fun to try.

  November 18, 2023 - 53 flight. Better than the Latour, graceful but also on the older side. 93

  May 21, 2016 - Richter Raritäten Degustation Volume IV - Magnum Edition (all wine out of Magnum): Nuts, leather, sweetness, very dense and warm wine. Opulence that just oozes right bank. Well, I just love this!!

  February 8, 2014 - Drank with the 1950. Where the 1950 was a little more classic in its perceptions, this wine was was loaded with more exotic, compelling qualities. It was light in color with some almost burgundy-like pink hues. It was airy and billowy -for 50+ year Bordeaux- with exotic spice and candy aromas. Spice-box, spice cake, perceptually bright red fruit, cardamom. Followed by lovely autumnal and earth perceptions. Terrific wine! 95
