Saturday, June 8, 2013 - Left Bank Bordeaux from the 1980-s (semi blind) (Amsterdam Wijn Antiquariaat): Dark cherries, ripe berries, some cocos and marijuana! Leather, forest, ink and iodine, such a complex nose! Dense and powerful on the palate, herbaceous and thick dark fruits. Excellent acidity and sweetness in balance. Thick tannins, excellent integration. Holds up well against the Lafite 1989, more masculine than the (feminine and elegant) Lafite as Tex mentioned. A long life ahead.
