90 Points

Saturday, November 1, 2014 - HDH Bordeaux Auction; 10/31/2014-11/1/2014 (Chicago, IL): A lot more reserved -- a bit of a wallflower compared to the exuberance of the '85. The nose features a lot more leather and dusty earth (a la St. Julien) with the fruit (red cherry and currant) here taking more of a backseat. Another classic, but more in the vein of Bordeaux than Napa. Not on the down trend, though drinking now might provide more fruit. This held up very well -- and I enjoyed the leftover half of the bottle the next day with Five Guys.
